Tons of Fun at the Fountainhead SBYB Final!
Tons of fun was had at Fountainhead yesterday at the fifth and final race of the 2013 Spring Backyard Burn Trail Running Series. Athletes were treated to pleasantly cool temperatures as they negotiated a rock and root filled technical course littered with twisty single-track, steep hills, and wet stream crossings. Congratulations to all racers who took on this challenging course and a big thank you to all the volunteers, sponsors, and the park authority for their wonderful support!
Results are now posted. Photos are coming soon.
Our next trail running race is the Fountainhead Off-Road Half Marathon and 10K held on June 2nd. This new course is awesome and includes much of the Bull Run-Occoquan Trail (Blue Trail). This race is already 70% full and will likely sell out before race day. So, register today to join in the fun! |
