Come join us for the fifth annual Try or Fail Spring Forward races! The 1-mile course will be run on the Workhouse Arts Center property starting and ending at the baseball fields going out and back. The 5K and the 10K races will both start from the Workhouse Arts Center as well, beginning on road and transitioning into the Cross Country Trail towards Giles Run before turning around to return to the Workhouse Arts Center. The grounds of the previous Lorton Reformatory have been repurposed by the Cultural Arts Center and houses famous pieces of art by local and renown artists which truly is a site to see during the year.

Giving Back - Part of the proceeds for this event are going towards donating to the American Heart Association.

Runners Receive - A Performance Event T-Shirt and a Race Medal if you're registered by March 28th. Runners will also be receiving a chip timed event. We will have some extra T-shirts for individuals who register after that date, but it will be as a first-come basis while supplies last.

Allowed - Strollers and walkers are more than welcome to participate and join the event. Our goal here is to get everybody moving and to come together for a good cause while adding a fun atmosphere.

Race Day Registration - There will be race day registration for individuals, but we ask you to arrive early enough before the race if you plan on using this option.

Staged out of beautiful General Smallwood State Park, this triathlon has beautiful, rolling courses and low traffic roads. The swim takes place in the Mattawoman Bay, known across the Nation as a prime example of what a fully restored Chesapeake Bay tributary looks like! After a quick run to the transition area, athletes will race along the rolling, freshly paved, low traffic roads of Charles County. Once you’ve laced up your running shoes, you’ll head back to the road for another scenic, rolling course with aid stations every mile. The last mile of the course is amazing as you re-enter the park and cross over Mattowoman Bay just prior to the finish line and your fantastic post race BBQ. Don’t miss out on this early season classic just a short drive from NOVA!
