Potomac Shores Trail Fun Run

The Potomac Shores Trail Fun Run is an annual community event held in Dumfries, Virginia. Organized by the local Homeowners Association's Trails Committee, the event is open to residents of the Potomac Shores development community along with their friends and guests. There is no registration fee to participate, as expenses are covered by the HOA.

The event features two concurrent trail races:

  • 5K trail race
  • 10K trail race

Both courses primarily utilize the community's wooded trail network. The paths for both distances begin on the same route and diverge at approximately the two-mile mark. The 10K course is characterized by hilly terrain. Due to the nature of the course, the 10K distance is restricted to participants older than 10 years of age.

Registration for the event opens in early August and remains available until the day before the run. The start and finish area is located near 1801 Potomac Shores Parkway. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
