FRONT ROYAL – Registration for the 11th Annual Edward Jones Race for Education is underway—and organizer Bret Hrbek hopes runners, walkers and the community steps up to participate in the event, which supports two great programs for Warren County high school students.

Half of the proceeds go to the First Dollar Scholarship, which helps students who want to dual enroll in college or workforce development classes. The other half of the proceeds are divided between the two high school Cross Country teams, which allow them to attend travel competitions hold awards ceremonies and purchase uniforms.
