Located in Reston, VA, Lake Fairfax has a beautiful lake and an awesome trail network. Our courses hit the best singletrack and include some great views of the lake. There are a few short technical sections (more rocks and roots), but most of the course is fairly smooth singletrack. There is barely any pavement on this course. There are no extended climbs, but lots of short ups and downs.

All race information including course maps, schedule, etc. can be found on the race website (link below):
