Stafford Hospital Foundation will host its annual Spring Fever 5K Run/Walk to support the operation program, training, and equipment needs of Stafford Hospital.  This event supports our mission “to improve the health of the people in the communities we serve.” This year’s race will take place in person on the Stafford Hospital campus, so lace up your sneakers and come join the fun! A FUN Team Challenge, Kids ½-mile Fun Run, and a live deejay will also be a part of the day’s events.

Join us for a walk through the Virginia Bluebells and other spring ephemerals on Saturday April 4, 11, and 18 at 10am with Virginia Master Naturalist John Bryan. Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) are native wildflowers that are ephemeral. They emerge in early spring and after blooming, disappear without a trace until the following spring. Bluebells spread through rhizomes and self seeding, and prefer moist shady habitats like forested floodplains along rivers and streams. They first emerge as purple foliage which turns to bright green as purple buds unfurl into the unmistakable blue flowers that carpet the forest for several weeks.

We will be searching for other signs of spring along the way, covering approximately 3 miles. Meet at the Historic Germanna Visitor Center. Our walk along the Rapidan River is followed by a moderate climb to a rock outcropping that provides an excellent view of the Rapidan River and surrounding forest. From there, participants will retrace their steps along the river.

These walks are free but registration is required as space is limited. Select your desired date below.
