The Try Or Fail Spring Forward event is the fifth annual edition and includes three distance options:

The 1-mile course is entirely on the Workhouse Arts Center property, starting and ending at the baseball fields and run out and back. The 5K and 10K both start at the Workhouse Arts Center, begin on road surface, then transition into the Cross Country Trail toward Giles Run before turning around to return to the Workhouse Arts Center. The event takes place on the grounds of the former Lorton Reformatory, now home to the Workhouse Cultural Arts Center and public artworks.
Part of the event proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association. Registered participants who register by March 28 receive a performance event T-shirt and a race medal; chip timing will be used for results. Extra T-shirts may be available after that date on a first come basis while supplies last.
Strollers and walkers are allowed. Race day registration is available but T-shirts and medals cannot be guaranteed on race day. Ample parking is available at the Workhouse Arts Center. Packet pick up is scheduled for April 16 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at Fleet Feet Woodbridge and on April 18 near the start and finish area beginning at 7:00 am. Awards information will be added soon.
