The 2026 King George Fall Festival Race/Run/Walk will be held for the 6th year on the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. This event offers an untimed out-and-back race from the Bloomsbury Road trailhead of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail.  For those with a competitive streak, a LED clock will be set up at the finish line.
