Description
2011 Event date will be announced by December 1, 2010
The specific date and time for online registration for the 2011 event will also be announced on December 1, 2010.
The Culpeper Sprint began in 2005 to a sold out crowd. Embraced by the town this race has continued to grow and evolve into one of the most popular races in the VTS. After a 750 meter swim in Mountain Run Lake athletes ride the rural country roads of Culpeper County on a great course that is technical at times but has some great straightaways to drop the hammer on. The run is all on road and goes down and up the famed Montelago hill for a challenging 5K course.
Be sure to come into town the day before to get your race packet and explore all that Culpeper has to offer.

Women's TShirt Sizes:
New for this year many of the races in the VTS will be offering women's sized shirts. If you have registered for a race and want a women's sized shirt, please double check the sizing chart HERE. If you want to change your shirt size you have until 4 weeks prior to the race to do so as we will be placing the order for the exact number of shirts requested in women's sizing. Anyone registering within 4 weeks of the event will only have the option of unisex/men's shirt sizing.
NOTE - The first few races of the year have taught us that the womens shirts run SMALL, you will want to size up one size larger than you would normally order. If you do not choose to size-up and get a smaller than anticipated size we do not guarantee that there will be a shirt to size-up to on race weekend.
