This race was held at a stunning, privately-owned property in the New Kent area. The course is mostly shady and the terrain is not too challenging. The race was well-run and for a great cause! Wings of Hope rescues horses and uses them in a Christian based program working with children with special needs.
The venue has shower facilities so I'd recommend the race in the morning and then explore the area. There is a vineyard nearby as well as Busch Gardens, historic Williamsburg and Jamestown.
