Summer Sprint 5k & 10k

About the Event

The Summer Sprint 5K & 10K returns to Purcellville, Virginia on August 9th, 2026. This scenic race invites participants through the trails of Franklin Park in Loudoun County.
Race morning at Franklin Park finds runners and walkers gathered along the hard and dry surface that stretches for miles under a canopy of trees. The atmosphere is one of anticipation as families set up their gear and volunteers organize pre-race activities, ensuring a safe and smooth start. Temperatures hover around 23 degrees Celsius with a high humidity level of 70%, making it feel like the mid-70s Fahrenheit—quite comfortable for a summer day.
Since its inception in 2014, this event has grown to support local charities through generous participation from runners and walkers of all ages. The race is known not only for its challenging course but also for fostering community spirit among participants who come together annually for a morning filled with fun and camaraderie.
The Summer Sprint offers both the 5K (five-kilometer) run and the 10K (ten-kilometer), each providing unique challenges on Franklin Park's varied terrain. Both distances wind through picturesque trails, offering runners a mix of uphill climbs and downhill descents that test endurance and speed alike.
The race begins with a warm-up at 7:30 AM sharp; participants will enjoy the start area before making their way down to the starting line where they can find aid stations for hydration and snacks along the course. The finish line, marked by cheering volunteers and post-race refreshments, is just ahead.
