The 2026 Historic Waterford Trail Run/Walk is a perfect outdoor adventure located in beautiful Western Loudoun County, just under an hour from DC. Bring your family and friends to experience a 5K, 10K and Fun Run through scenic trails, paved and gravel roads, vineyards, and the historic streets of Waterford, Virginia. Spend some time enjoying the beauty of an early 19th Century American village with sweeping vistas of rural landscapes and farms, historic buildings and the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains. The trails are rustic so you many encounter a little mud, but that is half the fun!

Proceeds from the race will benefit the Waterford Foundation!


Get ready to run, walk, and make a difference! Join us for our Annual AKT Summer 5K/10K at the scenic Mount Vernon Trail as we raise funds for the Samuel Kwarteng Memorial Scholarship. This non-competitive, family-friendly event is open to all fitness levels—walkers and runners are all welcome and encouraged to participate!

All revenue and donations will directly go towards funding the 2026 Samuel Kwarteng Memorial Scholarship.
