GK Chesterton's Great Hat Chase
The GK Chesterton's Great Hat Chase is an inaugural fundraiser event held at Death Ridge Brewery in Jeffersonton, Virginia. All proceeds from the event benefit the Chesterton Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas' High School. The event features a 5k running race and a 1 mile walk held on the Death Ridge 5k Course.
The course consists of single-track, cross-country terrain. Participants are encouraged to wear trail shoes due to the nature of the path. The event utilizes a casual racing format where the race is timed, but participants do not use bibs or electronic chips.
The available distances for this event include:
- 5k running race
- 1 mile walk
Custom prizes are awarded to the fastest male and female runners. Additionally, the event includes awards for participants wearing the silliest hats. On-site amenities at the brewery include live music and food for participants and their families. Raffles featuring sports packages and dining vouchers are also organized as part of the fundraising efforts. There is no fixed registration fee to participate, though donations are accepted online or at the venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
