How It Works:

  • 8am-6pm: Run a 5K on the hour every hour for 10 hours. Individual and team options!
  • The Course: a 5K trail loop with a shared start/finish line. Participants must be ready at the start line at the top of every hour. Headlamp required for the last lap.
  • Individuals: Can you complete all ten loops?! Run all 50K for the most bragging rights of the day. Awards are based on cumulative time.
  • Teams: Are you endurance race curious? Or trail running curious? Both? This is a welcoming event for YOU!
    • Teams of 2: may either alternate 5K’s or have one person do five hours in a row then the other person do the next five hours in a row. Each teammate must complete five loops.
    • Teams of 3: you decide how to divide up loops. Each teammate must complete at least three loops.
  • Timing: All loops are chip timed. Results will be based on total cumulative time.
    • Time cutoff: participants must be able to finish each 5K loop in under 57 minutes. Anyone who does not meet the time cut off each hour will not be permitted to continue.
  • Basecamp: The Perfect Day 50K hangout spot & party zone! Participants will park their vehicles in the lot next to the start/finish line for refueling between loops. You’re welcome to bring tents, coolers, camping grills, and pets must be on a leash. We’ll have music playing and spectators are encouraged to bring their energy to Basecamp to support runners.
    • FREE coffee for participants at Basecamp all day long.
  • Swag: Every participant receives a premium moisture wicking race shirt, custom finisher medal and stocked drinks & snacks at Basecamp.
  • Charity Partner: A portion of each registration goes to Girls on the Run Northern VA.
