Description of walk: 5k or 10k

The uniqueness of this walk results from the emphasis Culpeper places on preserving historic buildings and landmarks from each era of its history. The route includes National Cemetery and Yowell Meadow Park. Many restaurants near the start/finish make this an excellent choice for a walk, then lunch. There is an “A” award for this event, which is a 3.75”x5” patch. Rated 2A (medium hills, mostly on pavement; probably suitable for strollers but not for wheelchairs).
