2026-07-26 08:30 - 11:00 UTC | Cedar Mountain Battlefield, 9465 General Winder Road, Rapidan, VA, 22733
Cedar Mountain 5K and 10K Rally is Cedar Mountain Battlefield Foundation’s (CMBF ) first race. CMBF is a non-profit, all volunteer organization that is the steward of the Cedar Mountain Battlefield that relies entirely on donations and proceeds from events such as this to maintain, preserve and interpret this community asset.
The Cedar Mountain Battlefield is more than just a historical site of a horrific Civil War battle on August 9, 1862. It is also a 160 acres of nature reserve with a large variety of wildflowers and birds. It is a community park that is always open to the public with well-maintained trails for birding enthusiasts, dog walkers and runners. And lastly, it is very scenic with both wooded and open areas.
By participating in our race, we are financially assisting CMBF in carrying out its stewardship mission.

Secrets, Suspects, and Sleuths: A Revalation Riddle?
2026-08-16 14:00 - 16:00 | Revalation Vineyards, 2710 Hebron Valley Road, Madison, 22727
Gather your cleverest friends—or come make some new ones—for an afternoon of collaborative crime-solving at Revalation Vineyards!
In this interactive, group-based game, you aren’t just reading a mystery; you are creating one. Hosted by local author Andi Cumbo (creator of the St. Marin’s, Stitches in Crime, and Poe Baxter series), this event will split attendees into “syndicates” of armchair detectives.
First, your group will work together to plot the perfect fictional crime. Using a framework of motives, means, and literary mischief, you will devise a fiendishly clever murder. Then, the tables will turn! You will swap your newly plotted mystery with another group and race to see who can unravel the other team’s clues and solve the crime first.
Whether you bring your own sleuthing squad or join a group when you arrive, it promises to be an afternoon of teamwork, laughter, and brilliant twists. Grab a glass of your favorite Revalation vintage and let the games begin!
Join us on Sunday, August 16, from 2-4 pm. Tickets are $30 per person (plus tax). Tickets include one glass of wine or our non-alcoholic verjus and the mystery-solving workshop. Don’t delay! Tickets for this event are limited to only 30 people!
