    THERE IS NO SAME DAY REGISTRATION FOR THIS RACE. Please pre-register online by 7 March 2026 by 8:00 p.m.

    10:00am: 12K race

    Distance and course: This is an out-and-back course almost completely around Burke Lake. The start/finish is at the northern end of the Burke Lake Park Ice Cream Parlor/Merry-Go-Round parking lot on main roadway ("Start" is painted on road surface). The race proceeds clockwise around lake over mildly rolling terrain. The first half mile is on the paved main roadway. After crossing the small bridge, bear right onto the dirt path, keeping the lake on your right. Continue on dirt path (watch for tree roots and protruding rocks!). Proceed for another three miles to turnaround and then proceed counterclockwise around lake back to the start/finish. The turnaround is past the earthen dam and is approximately 200 yards past the 4.0 mile marker (if you reach the public marina, you've gone too far!).

    Here is a map to the park entrance.

    Once you are inside the park, make the first left and travel a quarter mile to the mini-golf / Disk Golf / Ice Cream Parlor / Merry Go Round parking lot on your right.

    The Bull Run Run is a 50 mile trail run within a linear park that generally parallels the Occoquan River and the famous Bull Run in southern Fairfax County, Virginia. It traverses a forested, rolling terrain during the height of the state's spring beauty. The run’s unique character includes a Civil War theme that honors the battles that occurred here over 150 years ago. A highlight of the race course are the stretches that take the runners through the largest bluebell stands on the East Coast. The 2026 race will be the 32nd running of this classic event.

    Many children rely on free and reduced-price meals at school for food. A Power Pack, which contains seven meals, helps to alleviate hunger for local children in need over the weekend when not in school. All of the Power-Packs assembled at the runner's village will be distributed after the race and eaten the next weekend (8-10 May). Last year in the last five years we had over 3,000 people participate in the race, we packed and donated over 187,000 meals and raised $227,491. This year we are trying to raise $60,000, which will allow us to pack and fund over 72,000 meals for hungry children in our county!

    The Fountainhead Half Marathon+ and 10K+ courses are absolutely tough and they are absolutely beautiful. Fountainhead Regional Park, in Fairfax County, VA, is only 30 minutes outside of Washington D.C. and has an extremely remote feel for being so close to a major metropolitan area. The half marathon(+) course includes a 6-mile long stretch of the Bull-Run Occoquan Trail (BROT) from Fountainhead to Bull Run Marina as well as three seldom used side trails along the BROT. The 10K(++) course uses a shorter section of the BROT and one of the side trails…yes…it’s the one with the really epic climb!

    All race information can be found on the race website: https://ex2adventures.com/trail-running/fountainhead-half-marathon-and-10k-trail-run/

    Join us on Saturday, May 9 at Mantua Elementary School and get ready to run the Mantua Raccoon Run 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run

    Join Mantua Elementary School Kids Care Club and W.T. Woodson Young Hearts Club for the 25th Annual Mantua Raccoon Run on Saturday, May 9, 2026. All the fun will take place at Mantua ES (9107 Horner Ct, Fairfax, VA 22031).

    The 1M fun run starts at 8:00 am, and the 5k starts at 8:30 am.

    The Raccoon Run is an annual run, sponsored by Mantua's Kids Care Club, that raises money for Life With Cancer, an amazing INOVA Hospital program that helps to provide support to those living with cancer and their families. This is done through education, information, counseling, and other services, all free of charge. Kids Care Club is a PTA volunteer-run service club that allows children in grades K-6 to give back to their community. Through this race, the kids get to see their work put into action as the race comes together and raises money for such an amazing cause. This way, we are not only helping the amazing organization that Life with Cancer is, but we are also empowering our young people to develop a love of giving back to their community.

    In addition, this run honors the memory of a beloved Mantua Elementary School teacher, Mrs. Roberta Romano, who lost her battle with cancer in December of 2001. For over 20 years, this run has been held to honor her memory!
