Fall Backyard Burn Trail Run - Laurel Hill | Lorton, VA, United States

About the Event

Located just south of the Capital Beltway in Lorton, this beautiful race course includes a mixture of forested and open meadow singletrack meandering through 1600 acres of the former prison grounds. The race starts and ends under the old guard towers at the Workhouse Arts Center, which is the site of the former Lorton Reformatory. The course is one of our least technical and most of it is on singletrack that is a mix of dirt and crushed stone. The only short pavement sections are at the beginning and end of the race. There are no extended climbs, but lots of short ups and downs.

Race Date: Sunday October 4, 2026
Course Length: 5.4 miles (1 lap) OR 10 miles (2 laps)

Charity partnership
