Spring Backyard Burn Trail Run at Lake Fairfax
The Spring Backyard Burn Trail Run takes place at Lake Fairfax Park in Reston, Virginia. The event utilizes the park's extensive trail network and provides views of the central lake. The course consists almost entirely of dirt paths with very little pavement included in the route.
Participants navigate a course primarily made of smooth singletrack trails. The terrain features numerous short ascents and descents rather than long, sustained climbs. While much of the path is clear, there are several short technical sections containing various rocks and roots.
The available distances for this event include:
- 5.3 miles (5 Mile race)
- 10.3 miles (10 Mile race)
The event maintains a charity partnership with Homestretch, a local non-profit organization. During the registration process, participants have the option to provide financial support to help raise funds and awareness for the services this organization provides to families in the local area. All registration fees are set according to the chosen distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
