Embark on a memorable journey through the stunning hills of Prince William Forest Park, where nature’s beauty awaits at every turn. Whether you’re seeking the challenge of paved roads and trails in the half-marathon or prefer the tranquility of wooded trails in the 5K/10K, there’s something for everyone at this extraordinary event.

Walkers and strollers are invited to join in on the adventure, ensuring that participants of all ages and fitness levels can be part of the experience. For those unable to attend in person, we’re thrilled to offer a virtual run option, allowing you to participate from anywhere in the world. Visit our Virtual Races page for more information on how to join the action.

As a token of achievement, all participants will receive a coveted finisher’s coin, a high-performance technical (Drifit) event shirt, and the opportunity to compete in a chip-timed event, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day.

In support of a worthy cause, a portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Semper Fi & America’s Fund, an organization dedicated to providing critical support to injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.

While the course presents its challenges with varying terrain, including some hills along the route, the rewards are plentiful. The 5K offers a thrilling trail run, while the 10K provides a balanced mix of trail and pavement. For those tackling the half marathon, expect a predominantly paved route with approximately 60% pavement. Be sure to consult the course map for details on elevation gain and route specifics.
