Damascus Festival of Miles
The Damascus Festival of Miles is a timed loop running event held in Damascus Town Park, Damascus, Virginia (202 South Beaverdam Avenue). Participants run repeated laps on a scenic 1-mile loop that combines paved and trail sections and highlights views of surrounding forests and the town.
Race format and options are timed events where participants complete as many laps as possible within the chosen time frame:
- 3-hour timed race
- 6-hour timed race
- 12-hour timed race
Registered runners may camp overnight in reserved spaces along the course; the event provides more than 100 campsite spots adjacent to the loop. The festival schedule includes a half day of race preparation and early packet pick-up on Friday, followed by a full race day on Saturday.
On-site amenities include live music and entertainment at the park gazebo, food trucks, aid stations offering water and snacks, and designated parking areas. All registered runners receive a race shirt. Awards are given for first through third place in each race category, with special recognition for participants who complete the most laps. Volunteers support race logistics and have access to Volunteer Village. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
