Sprint to Spring 5k
The Sprint to Spring 5k is held at Franklin Park in Purcellville, Virginia, as part of the Loudoun County Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Run Your Parks Race Series. Points from the event count toward the Year-Long 5k series, the Back of the Pack series, and the Winter series.
The course is a certified cross country layout that runs around much of the park. It covers wooded paths and open fields within the park’s roughly 200 acre property. The route follows a forest trail around the park perimeter; participants should be aware of tree roots on the trail. There are some hills on the course but no major elevation gains. The 5k is one lap of this course.
The event offers a virtual run option. Registered participants receive a finisher medal, a technical (Drifit) event shirt, and chip timing. T-shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before February 25; shirts for later registrants are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The registration fee for the 5k is listed as $35.
Live results are published during the event and final results with series points are posted the Monday after the race. Packet pickup is available at the event and race day registration is offered. Restrooms are located around the park. A weekly social media post selection awards a discount on a future race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
