Description:

The Fall Backyard Burn is a series of 5 and 10-mile trail running races held on some of the best trail networks in the Northern Virginia area. All the courses include a mixture of forested fire roads, twisty hiking trails, several stream crossings, grassy fields, and minimal pavement.

Located in Reston, VA, this suburban park has a beautiful lake, huge open fields, pavilions, and an awesome trail network. Our course is almost entirely single track except for .4 miles of the prologue.  There is about 300 feet of elevation change on the 5-mile course.  While not overly technical, there are some rocks and roots to negotiate along most of the course.
