The Damascus Festival of Miles is a timed loop running event held in Damascus Town Park, Virginia. Participants choose a timed entry and run laps on a scenic 1-mile loop that includes both paved and trail sections. This year’s event offers three timed options and organizers plan to add a 24-hour challenge in a future edition. Registered runners may camp overnight in reserved spaces alongside the course; more than 100 campsite spots are available.
