Hello Harrisonburg

Harrisonburg social entrepreneurship is alive and well!  Kevin Gibson shares how he and his friend, Alan Maynard, combine their love of exercising, building community, and supporting great causes.  What started as an idea for one event turned into a hobby and is now its own business, VA Momentum.  Now, there are over 3,000 combined participants taking part in these unique events, including monthly Run Sweat & Beers, and annual Valley 4th Run and Rocktown Turkey Trot (see all the events). Kevin and Alan are also the first recipients of the I Love My Burg Harrisonburg Action Figure Award. VA Momentum puts together active events that build an audience for and support local businesses and charities, while building community and giving back 34% of revenues go back to support local charities.
