There are certainly a number of events you can get out and enjoy in the nice weather this weekend.
You and dad can get moving early Sunday morning for the Charlottesville Men's Four Miler. The run starts up at 7:30 a.m. on Father's Day.
This is a spin-off of the popular all-female race in October, and as such, it is no girls allowed.
Men and boys of all ages will hit the pavement to support the Virginia Men's Health Improvement and Performance Initiative. The program encourages men to live healthy and active lifestyles to prevent serious and potentially fatal diseases.
The course travels through the University of Virginia before finishing with a run through the tunnel and into Scott Stadium.
Participants can register online through June 15. The entry fee is $25 for a single entrant, $48 for double (family) entrants, and $66 for triple (family) entrants.
Runners will also be able to register at Packet Pick-up on Saturday, June 16, at the UVA Sports Medicine Clinic at the Fontaine Research Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participants can also sign up on race day starting at 6:15 a.m. for $30 a person.

If dad is more of a history buff, the Grace Church Farm Tour might be more his style.
The experience gives people a behind-the-gates-look at a handful of historic churches and landmarks in the area, some of which date back to the 18th century.
Grace Church is considered to be one of the most beautiful, historic churches in Virginia. The original Grace Church was built in 1742 and proudly counts Thomas Jefferson among its early vestry members.
This is the third time the tour guides have taken groups through Keswick Hunt Country.
Tours run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
