About
The Fall Backyard Burn takes place in a suburban park in Reston, Virginia, featuring a scenic lake, open fields, and a network of trails. The course runs almost entirely on narrow single-track trails with rolling elevation and a few technical challenges like rocks and roots. Distances include a 5-mile run and a 10-mile run.
Runners can support Homestretch, a local nonprofit that helps area families through education and fundraising. Donations can be made during registration, contributing directly to the organization's work.
