The event is a 5k held at the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility (WARF) in Warrenton, VA on March 27, 2027. Points from this race count toward the Year-Long 5k & Back of the Pack Series and toward the Winter Series. A virtual run option is offered.
The course is a paved out-and-back route on trails around the WARF with several hills; course maps include elevation details. There are three water stations on the 5k course at approximately mile markers 1, 1.55, and 2.55, with Gatorade available at some stations. Restrooms are located inside the WARF.
Runners receive a finisher’s medal, a technical Dri-FIT event shirt, and chip timing. Packet pickup is available at the event; allow time for check-in. Race day registration is offered, but T-shirt sizes cannot be guaranteed for race day registrants. Registration pricing lists the 5k at $30 until March 15, then $35; prices increase on race morning.
