FCPRD hosts Battlefield Half Marathon
The Battlefield Half Marathon and Relay will get started this morning.
The starting line will be in the Kernstown Battlefield and then proceed to a scenic run on Middle Road.
For the protection of the runners, portions of Middle Road and a few adjacent roads will be closed.
If you are supporting a runner or a spectator, a battlefield walking tour will be available.
It will last about an hour and give you plenty of time to get back to the finish line to support your runners.
