Bold Blitzen 5K at Bold Rock Cidery

Bold Blitzen 5K at Bold Rock Cidery is held in Nellysford, Virginia, on Saturday, December 5, 2026, with one 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m. The race is staged at Bold Rock Cidery and organized by Corkscrew Racing. It is listed as a road event, and the name places it among the holiday-themed 5Ks that fill the Virginia calendar in December.

A 5K based at a cidery is usually as much a social morning as a race, and the short distance means you can treat it either way. Beginners can finish on a month of easy running three days a week; if you want to push, add one session of intervals, for example 8 x 400 meters slightly faster than your target race pace. Arrive early enough for a 10-minute warm-up jog, and if you plan to stay afterward, drink some water before anything else.
