Fall Backyard Burn Trail Run - Laurel Hill

EX2 Adventures’ Fall Backyard Burn Trail Run at Laurel Hill Park in Lorton, Virginia offers 5-mile and 10-mile options. The course weaves through forested and open meadow singletrack across 1600 acres of the former Lorton prison grounds, starting and finishing beneath the Workhouse Arts Center’s old guard towers. It’s described as one of the less technical races, with dirt and crushed-stone singletrack and only brief pavement at the ends, featuring no long climbs—just short ups and downs.

Elevation gain is about 350 feet for a single lap and 700 feet for two. The day includes a lively atmosphere, aid stations, post-race food, optional finish medals, a kids program, and a charity partner, Homestretch. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
