About the Event

All aboard! Join us for our Bluemont Junction 5k. This 5k is a fan favorite. The course is on a paved trail that is mostly flat with the start and finish in Bluemont Park.

Did you know that Bluemont "Junction" Park in Arlington was part of the W&OD Railway. The park even features a retired Bluemont Junction Caboose

In addition to overall winners (1, 2, 3) and master's winners, we will offer awards 3-deep, male and female in 10-year age groups.

Registration is free for members and $10 for nonmembers. Members will see their $10 discount at checkout.

This event is part of the DCRRC's Bunion Derby Series; for more information/rules, visit the race series rules page.

About Arlington

Learn more about the host city, Arlington.

Arlington forms part of the urban conglomeration around Washington, D.C. - inside the beltway. In Northern Virginia, and directly across the Potomac River from D.C. proper, Arlington is one of America's most densely populated regions. It has a land area 26 sq mi (67 km2) and a population of 230,000. Despite its density, Arlington mixes the best of both big city and suburban environments. Like the greater Washington area, Arlington has grown over the last several decades in part due to growth of the federal government.
