Don’t miss out on the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. The Dahlgren Trail Half Marathon features a scenic out and back course on a flat, smooth old railroad bed. Cash prizes, great competition, good food, and awesome swag all make this a memorable event. And because we understand it can be a bit chilly in January 😉 we will be starting the race at 9:00 am to let it warm up and let you get a little more sleep.
All finishers receive a custom race medal! If you miss the t-shirt deadline, you may still be able to get the size you’d like! We enter inventory into the website, so if you see your size available, you’re good to go!
The time limit for the race is 3.5 hours – around 16 minute/mile pace.
The Friends of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit group that is volunteer-based and works to develop, preserve, and maintain this historic rail-to-trail greenway as a major recreational, tourism, and educational opportunity for the citizens of King George County and the state of Virginia.

I really enjoyed this trail race. It’s on a old railroad line and is a well groomed trial. I did a run-walk & had a fab time. It’s a small race, yet the organizers pay attention to all details.

Mostly flat out and back on packed pea gravel. Easiest trail race as you can’t get lost, and there is very little to trip on or sprain and ankle. Even … MORE
Mostly flat out and back on packed pea gravel. Easiest trail race as you can’t get lost, and there is very little to trip on or sprain and ankle. Even the ties that stick up a little have been painted green so you can see the trip hazards. Close to a lot of historic sites.
