more races you run, the better your chances to win. Register now for these great events to assure your
participation award! The following events are included in the series:
The Van Metre 5-Mile Run is an event for the entire family.
Serious runners, weekend and occasional joggers, walkers, and
even strollers (for the One Mile Fun Run/Walk only) of all
skill levels are invited to participate. The 5-Mile Run
features ChampionChip timing and team competition. This event
has more prizes for children than any other race. The 5 mile
course stretches throughout the beautiful Broadlands community.
There is also an easy 1 mile course for children and walkers.
Now entering its 12th year, the LAWS Half-Marathon is the
longest foot race in Loudoun County. This year's event, which
will be held at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds, will feature a
1K kid's run within the fairgrounds for children 10 years and
under. Both the half marathon and 5K will be certified and
sanctioned by the USATF. Runners in both races will compete
along scenic rolling, courses that start and end at the
Fairgrounds.
The second annual Potomac River Running Twilight Festival
4-Miler will be held in Ashburn, VA. The fast course and
evening start make this a unique event you won't want to miss.
Enjoy the rare opportunity to race the 4-Mile distance and
celebrate post-race. The summer solstice makes this weekend
the "longest" of the year! The race is guaranteed to be fun for
the whole family, whether you run or take in the Festival.
Great awards, ChampionChip timing, five year age groups, and a
technical dri-release t-shirt to every participant.
Come out to Leesburg and run with the cows! This popular
summertime race is a fixture on the Washington, DC area race
calendar. The race features ChampionChip timing and 10K and 20K
scenic, rolling courses which primarily are on the W&OD Trail.
A free kids fun run, with medals to all finishers, tops off the
event. This race is well positioned to be a good training race
for runners working on a fall marathon training program.
In its second year, the Stone Ridge 5K Race for Education
promises to become a fall classic. The event benefits Dulles
South public schools. There is something for everyone in the
family, with abundant prizes, 5-year age groups, ChampionChip
timing, a flat, fast course, and a kids fun run. Cash awards of
$250, $150, and $100 will be given to the top three overall
male and female finishers in the 5K!
