  The Father of FredEvents, Konrad Heller, wants A Listers to know that the season is about to rev up and they have some AWESOME races scheduled for the year!  Adventure Races, Duathlons, MTB Races & Trail Runs! 

 Very special this year is The Virginia Off-Road Series (VORs). 

“The Virginia Off Road Series (VORS) includes multiple established races and disciplines. VORS will include noted Blue Ridge Outdoor Races from FredEvents and 18 Hours on the Farm Scouts Honor along with two other well known and popular Series from RunRideRace and Richmond MultiSports. The competitions selected for VORS includes core mountain bike races with a twist of multiple discpline races from duathlons to 18 hours. This means competitors will have to focus not only on the race at hand but the entire series. Bottom line, accruing points will involve as much strategy as having a strong race!” 

Check our the VORS and all FredEvents early and often at www.fredevents.org !
