Organiser's Description
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.
