Rally Round the Flag - Middleburg 5k

On Saturday, November 14th, 2020 the Middleburg American Legion Post 295 and Boy Scout Troop 2950 are holding the “Rally ‘round the Flag” 5-K Run. The purpose is to raise funds for the Post, the Scout Troop, and for our Scholarship and Needy Veterans Fund.  The success of this event relies on the support of our local citizens and businesses. 

The “Rally ‘round the Flag” 5-K Run kicks off at 8:30 a.m. for the 5K for runners and walkers. The Boy Scouts will be serving breakfast to the veterans. The breakfast at the American Legion’s Patriot’s Hall is optional for all the runners and non-participants A modest donation for the breakfast is appreciated. There will be an Awards Ceremony hosted by our own Sgt. Rob Jones, (USMC Ret.) for the 5K at the end of the race. Other prizes and drawings will occur at Patriot’s Hall after the race.

Middleburg 5K Course

The Middleburg 5K course will take you through some incredible scenery on the campus of The Hill School in the heart of Middleburg. The race begins and ends next to the athletic fields. Runners will head west from the starting line on the road, then turn onto the gravel path around the outdoor science center, pond, and fields. A small portion of the route is grass between the amphitheater and the Flagpole. On your second lap, you will head west to the fields and back to the road to the finish line right where you started.

Dogs (on leashes) and strollers are welcome on the route.
