Damascus Festival of Miles
The Damascus Festival of Miles is a timed loop race event held in Damascus, Virginia on October 2 and 3, 2026. The event offers three timed race options where participants run laps on a scenic one mile loop through Damascus Town Park. The route includes a mix of paved and trail sections and passes by the park gazebo.
Race options:
- 3-hour race
- 6-hour race
- 12-hour race
More than 100 reserved camping spots are available along the course for registered runners, and campers may remain on site overnight on the Friday before the race. The weekend program includes a half day of race preparation and early packet pickup on Friday, a free concert on Friday evening, and live music and food trucks on Saturday.
Event support includes aid stations with water and snacks, designated parking areas near the park, and race day packet pickup. All registered runners will receive a race shirt. Awards will be given to the top three finishers in each category, plus recognition for participants who complete the most laps. Volunteers help with logistics, aid stations, and registration and have access to a Volunteer Village. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
