Nice smallish race in Fairfax VA put on by Pacers Running. Run through park trails on concrete , dirt/cinder, & some roads. Some hills here & there, but nothing terrible. Out and back in 2 different directions, but not boring. Some great scenery around Lake Accotink. Trails are about 3-4 runners wide, but the race thins out after a mile or 2. There is race morning packet pick up which is great, an average zip up hooded sweatshirt as a premium, snowflake medal. Snacks at the end are decent, bottles or water, Gatorade, muffins, etc. really no spectators due to the trails, & the weather was terrible. Started raining about 30 minutes in and then the deluge started about 60 minutes in. Made the trails very muddy & flooded. I’ve run tough mudders with less mud. Volunteers at water stops were great. I think the rain made the race more fun for me. Overall well put together, great local race. I would highly recommend if you live in the area.
Rainy old day
