Well, the Morales crew is benched this week with a lovely case of HFMD (seems like half the county is in the same boat right now 😅).

BUT just because we’re down for the count doesn’t mean the track should be empty! Grab a friend, your family, or even your dog and head over to the Botetourt Sports Complex tomorrow night at 7pm. Walk, jog, run…whatever feels good.

Five weeks down, five to go! 💪🏼 Over 20 folks from all over the county have come out to walk, jog, or run with us. What a vibe 🫶🏼

Come hang with us every Tuesday at 7pm at the Botetourt Sports Complex here in Daleville. It’s a great way to train for whatever your personal fitness goals might be, meet new people, and get outside!

Hey, BOCO 👋🏼 We’re the Morales crew! Here’s a quick “Five Ws” intro for anyone new around here…

👟WHAT is ?

This is a NEW social group for walkers, joggers, and runners in led by a small (but mighty!) group of volunteers. We host free, casual weekly meetups throughout the summer. In the future, we hope to support and host local 5ks, fun runs, and other events throughout the area to bring people and businesses together.

🏃‍♀️WHO is this group for?

We’re open to all ages and paces—no experience necessary. If you enjoy walking, jogging, or running (solo, with a stroller, or a furry friend), come join us! Whether you’re training for a race, chasing your kids around the track, or just want to get outside with some good company, you’re welcome here.

📍WHERE and 📆 WHEN do we meet?

Every Tuesday evening @ 7pm at the Botetourt Sports Complex. There is a half-mile paved track surrounding the softball fields where we go at our own pace, take as many laps as we want, and enjoy the fresh air and views together.

⭐️ WHY do we exist?

To build a welcoming, multigenerational community where people of all ages and paces can move their bodies, make connections, and enjoy the beauty of Botetourt County—one stride at a time.

Come say hi 👋🏼

This one’s happening in our own backyard! Let’s get a BOCO crew out here 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️

The Run Like Baron 5K is happening Saturday, August 9 at 8:30 AM, and it’s in honor of Baron, Botetourt County’s first K9 to pass while on active duty.

It’s a meaningful way to support our local K9s (retired and active) and a great excuse to get in a fun trail run/walk. Hope to see some familiar faces out there. Raise a hand ✋🏼 if you’re gonna be there, so we can cheer you on!

Race day is Saturday, August 9,2025. Registration is now open. Early bird pricing ends July 26th.

What a beautiful night for a run/walk! We had 15+ people come out, met some new friends, and enjoyed this perfect summer weather. I forgot to take more photos/videos (next time!). So glad to share the miles with such a great crew. 👟🌅

We’ll be here every Tuesday, 7pm at the Botetourt Sports Complex. See y’all next time!
