Valley View Hard Cider Challenge Half

Delaplane, United States • 14 Sep 2025

Valley View Hard Cider Challenge Half, hosted by Bishops Events, takes place at Valley View Farm in Delaplane, Virginia. The event offers 5k, 10k, and Half-Marathon distances on knotty courses that blend cross-country, trail, and hills. The 5k and 10k are out-and-back once, while the Half is out-and-back twice.

This year it’s virtual-only due to the farm closing for the season, with a virtual option for remote runners. Runners receive a finisher medal, a technical event shirt, a drink ticket redeemable for cider, juice or soda, and chip timing. Proceeds benefit Paws for Purple Hearts.

Walkers are welcome, live results are posted, and the event participates in Back of the Pack and series points. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
