  • The unique out-and-back course runs through one of the area's first environmentally-protected zones, an undeveloped meadowland where the deer and the antelope play.
  • The W&OD for its entire 44-mile length is a swath of green amidst urban development all around.
  • The caboose and the old Vienna station where we start and finish commemorate Virginia's history.
  • The race course is a narrow (12-foot) wide paved trail, mostly flat, with a brief spur into a lovely neighborhood.   TheStick
  • We offer water and aid stations at 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 miles, as well as the start/finish.
