Fountainhead Half Marathon Trail Run

Fairfax Station, United States • 18 May 2025

The Fountainhead Half Marathon and 10K++ Trail Run takes place at Fountainhead Regional Park in Fairfax Station, Virginia, just 30 minutes from Washington D.C. This challenging event features a 13.5-mile half marathon and a 6.9-mile 10K course, both known for their tough terrain with rocks, roots, streams, and significant elevation gains (1,400 feet for the half marathon and 700 feet for the 10K). The half marathon route includes a scenic 6-mile stretch along the Bull-Run Occoquan Trail and several rarely used side trails, while the 10K features a shorter section with a notable climb. The race offers multiple aid stations, a competitive yet welcoming atmosphere, and supports the local charity Homestretch. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
