Sun 05/19/2024 Fountainhead Half Marathon & 10K Trail Run Fairfax Station, VA (Fountainhead Regional Park) 8:00 a.m. (Half); 2:30 a.m. (10K) Course Length: 6.8 miles (10K++) OR 13.1 miles (HM). Elevation Gain: 700 feet OR 1,400 feet The Fountainhead Half Marathon and 10K courses are absolutely tough and they are absolutely beautiful.

The half marathon(ish) course includes a 6-mile long stretch of the Bull-Run Occoquan Trail (BROT) from Fountainhead to Bull Run Marina as well as three seldom used side trails along the BROT. The 10K(ish) course uses a shorter section of the BROT and one of the side trails…yes…it’s the one with the really epic climb! Half marathon racers must maintain a minimum pace that will allow for a 4 hour maximum finish. Portable music players or any device requiring in-ear headphones are not permitted. Pets and Pacers are not allowed on the course. Baby strollers are not permitted on the course. The day's events include a Kids Race at 11:00 a.m., for ages 2-11.

Starts in Montgomery, WV 50 Mile Race Start Time - 12.75 hour time limit: 6:00 a.m. (eligible for awards). Starts in Montgomery, WV. We have two start times for the 50 mile race because we want everyone to have the opportunity to "beat the train" but do not want everyone to have to start at 4:45 a.m. We also do not want earlier finishers to have to wait hours for the train. 55 Kilometer Race Start Time: 7:00 a.m. Last Finisher: 6:45 p.m. The 55K includes a Ruck Division. Starts in Thurmond, WV. The 50 mile relay can be run with 2, 3, or 4 people. With 5 relay hand off points, athletes can run it in any order and run as many or as few legs as they want as long as each member of the team runs at least one. Train leaves the station: 6:59 p.m. We do not control the trains. This is a reliable schedule and is rarely late. But if Amtrak is delayed, 50-Miler athletes' departure will be delayed as well.
