The Virginia Turfgrass Foundation (VTF) has launched our #KeepingItReal Campaign this year to bring awareness to the numerous environmental, health, and recreation benefits that real grass provides to consumers like you and me.
Awareness is Knowledge!

Our Run the Fairway Festival is an exciting new festival created to highlight everything about turfgrass paired with an amazing runwalk-jog-festival on the famous LPGA and past PGA Kingsmill River Golf Course at the Kingsmill Resort. This is a family friendly event bringing both industry professionals and consumers together for turfgrass awareness fun.
All proceeds from this event support the Virginia Tech Turfgrass Team programs and turfgrass research projects.
