2026 Running for Rivermont 5k, 10k & 1 Miler
This event takes place on April 11 at Burke Lake Park in Fairfax Station, VA. It includes the following distances:
- 1 mile
- 5k
- 10k
Points for these races count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k and Back of the Pack series and also toward the Spring Series. A virtual run option is available for participants who cannot attend in person.
The course uses Shelter C at Burke Lake Park. The route is mostly paved with a short gravel section and has limited elevation gains. For events that include the 10k, that distance is an out-and-back completed twice. Water stations are placed along the courses: three on the 10k at approximately miles 1.55, 3.1, and 4.65, and one on the 5k at about mile 1.55; Gatorade is available at some stations. Restrooms are located by the parking lot at Shelter A. Parking and event staging are at Shelter C.
Participants receive a finisher’s medal, a technical drifit event shirt, and chip timing. T-shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before April 1. Registration fees vary by distance and increase after March 15 and again on race morning. Packet pickup and race day registration are available at the event, and t-shirt sizes for race day registrants cannot be guaranteed.
Awards recognize the top three men and women overall plus top two in standard age groups. Live results will be posted online and final results with series points follow after the event. The event partners with Rivermont Schools, which serves children and young adults aged 5 to 22 with behavioral, emotional, and educational needs.
