Sheetz-to-Sheetz Trail Run - King George, Virginia
The Sheetz-to-Sheetz Trail Run is an untimed, point to point trail event held on April 4, 2026, in King George, Virginia. The course covers 14 miles: about 1.4 miles on road followed by 12.6 miles on the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. The trail is largely flat and composed of dirt and gravel with short sections of pea gravel or small rocks, passing farmland, wetlands, and secluded woods; a shooting range is adjacent to the trail, so participants are expected to remain on course.
The event includes shuttle buses that transport participants from event parking near the finish to the start. Pre-race parking is provided at the King George Gateway Shopping Center next to the finish in Dahlgren. A free bag drop service operates at the start and finish.
Aid is provided at multiple locations along the route and at the start and finish. Notable aid stations include a Mile 3.14 stop offering pie and water, a Mile 6.2 campsite with s'mores and other snacks plus toilets, a Mile 10.2 fruit stop, a Mile 12.5 soft pretzel stop with water and a toilet, and a finish-area buffet including doughnuts. The race is cupless; each runner receives a reusable HydraPak SpeedCup and hydration is served into those cups.
Finishers receive practical swag such as an insulated Sheetz travel mug, a custom sweat towel, a reusable race cup, snacks, and a drawstring bag. Awards are offered for top male and female finishers overall and in Masters 50 plus, and select prizes include gift certificates to local businesses. Proceeds support Sheetz For the Kidz and other local causes; the event has contributed $27,233 to date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
