From the Organizer
All aboard! Join us for our Bluemont Junction 5k. This 5k is a fan favorite. The course is on a paved trail that is mostly flat with the start and finish in Bluemont Park.
Did you know that Bluemont "Junction" Park in Arlington was part of the W&OD Railway. The park even features a retired Bluemont Junction Caboose.
We're excited to welcome the DC Water, Women of Water, 5k program to the race! We also are honored to have Arlington County bringing a water station to the race, so we can have nice fresh (and cool) water at the finish.
To keep with our "water" theme, we're having a water bucket kids race. All kids will receive a winner's ribbon! No registration required for the water bucket race.
In addition to overall winners (1, 2, 3) and master's winners, we will offer awards 3-deep, male and female in 10-year age groups.
Registration is free for members and $10 for nonmembers. Members will see their $10 discount at checkout.
This event is part of the DCRRC's Bunion Derby Series; for more information/rules, visit the race series rules page.
Race Director(s): Anna Suhring
