The Bank of Fincastle has announced it will give two $1,000 Fall Run Scholarships this year— one each to a graduating senior at Lord Botetourt and James River High Schools who has participated in The Bank of Fincastle 5K & 10K Fall Run and has been involved in the running sports. The bank is now accepting applications for the Fall Run Scholarships.

This year will mark the 32nd Annual The Bank of Fincastle Run that again will be held in the Town of Fincastle on Saturday, Oct. 21. The run has been a staple in the community and brings local school students and communities together in a positive way to promote health, exercise and wellness.

Each year since the race’s inception, the bank has presented a scholarship to a student who has participated in and completed at least one fall run event and has been a member of a running sport in high school.

In the past, one scholarship was awarded, but this year bank officials announced they will increase the award to two $1,000 scholarships, one for a student at each of the high schools.

The student must be a member of the current graduating class of either school and plan to attend an accredited college, university or any accredited post-secondary institution immediately after graduation.
