Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. This is 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 February ;) we will be starting the race at 9:00 am to let it warm up and let you get a little more sleep. The time limit for the race is 3.5 hours - around 16 minute/mile pace
