About the Race

The scenic course starts at the Liberty Hall Ruins on Washington and Lee's Campus, continues through the hilly and charming town of Lexington, the campus of VMI, and the Chessie Trail before finishing up at the Ruins.  The course is not too hilly and is a good combination of streets and trails.  Water stations will be available throughout the course.  There will be plenty of parking available at the Ruins, which are located off of Hwy 60 on Woods Creek Rd.

For maps of the courses (which are new this year!) please see:

The Race Benefits the Legal Community

Proceeds from the run go directly to fellowships funding W&L Law Students who accept unpaid public interest positions during their summers and to fund the W&L's Shepherd's Loan Repayment Program.  More information about the Loan Repayment Program at W&L Law can be found here.

About PILSA

The Washington and Lee Public Interest Law Students Association was created to increase law student's access to opportunities in public interest law. Within PILSA's stated goals, public interest law is defined as that realm of advocacy which protects and advances interests traditionally or currently under-represented in American society. The goals of PILSA are to:

• Secure funding to subsidize public interest internships;
  
  
• Provide ongoing informational and administrative support to the placement office with respect to public interest employment;
  
  
• Emphasize ways the Shepherd Poverty Program and the Law School can work more closely together; and
  
  
• Enable and elevate the participation of W&L students in the active practice of public interest law
