Scholarships
If you are interested in pursuing a VHTRC entry fee scholarship, do NOT enter the race prior to consulting with the RDs.
Again this year, we are continuing the VHTRC tradition of offering entry fee scholarships to runners who exhibit a passion for running and/or volunteering but certain conditions may make it difficult to covering race fees (e.g., being a student, job uncertainty, etc).
There are up to two scholarships available. The VHTRC will pay the base entry fee less $15 for scholarship recipients. (In effect, the scholarship is a credit of $110.) We do not disclose the names of scholarship recipients, and they are treated like all other entrants. To apply for a scholarship, contact the RD before entering the race - do not enter the race prior to consulting with the RD.
