On Saturday, August 7th FUMA will host a Quadrathlon (5K race) to help local high school Olympic Sports. The goal is to raise money for the Jefferson District Indoor Track Meet to be held in February. Saturday is also a kick-off event for the Central Virginia Olympic Sports Foundation. The mission of the foundation is to help local high school Olympic sports with expenses when many of their athletic budgets are being cut during this economic crunch. This year's event will help local running sports and possibly in the future assist in swimming.
