VTF Report

The Virginia Turfgrass Foundation (VTF) is pleased to announce the expansion of our Run the Fairway fundraising event to host both a Spring and Fall event in 2022! Our “Run the Fairway Spring Fest” will be located at the Magnolia Green Golf Course and scheduled for May 7, 2022. Expect a timed 5k walk-run-jog, a 10k run, and a 1 Mile (non-timed) Fun Run along the beautiful Magnolia Green fairways. The Spring Fest activities will be located at driving range site to include: exciting demonstrations from the Virginia Tech Turfgrass Team, a fantastic beer festival line-up with craft beer vendors throughout the RVA area and beyond, an amazing vendor/sponsor expo, great live music, tasty food, fun kid activities and more.

The VTF is a 501c3 non-profit organization. All donations and sponsorships are 100% tax deductible and support the Virginia Tech Turfgrass Team endowment (managed by the VTF), which funds turfgrass research and project needs for yesterday, today and the future of turfgrass! With the support of the industry, consumers and nonindustry corporations, we are thrilled to grow our signature “Run the Fairway” consumer focused event with both a Spring 2022 (Magnolia Green GC) and Fall 2022 (Kingsmill Resort River Course) fundraiser. If you have an idea or would like to have an event at your golf course or location, give us a call and let the VTF help!
