  • Fat Friday Fifty

    Incl. One Free Beer at Monks

    This is the little extra event for anyone who'd like to get in just a little bit more. It's also a perfect way to record a bona fide 50-mile race in their running resume. There is no real time limit. Every runner should consider this a self-supported run and carry hydration & nutrition; however, in years past we've had help along the way in the form of impromptu volunteers. And of course, along the way there are tons of stores / restrooms / and other waypoints to guide us. The after-party is at Monk's BBQ in Purcellville, and anyone finishing either event gets their first beer courtesy of the Trottin' Oxen Run Club! Note that the starting address fo0r this event is 6926 Little Falls Rd, Arlington, VA 22213. It's highly recommended that you get a drop off or carpool to this event, and we will reach out to ensure that you have options.

Organiser's description

Turkey Trots on Thanksgiving are all well and good, but what about the next day?

Join out motley crew of runners as we embark on what might be an over-ambitious, but very relaxed, running expedition along our very favorite running route in NOVA. We'll start at two different points and times depending on your distance, all with the hope of running the entire length of the W&OD trail from Shirlington to Purcellville. The post-race party will be at Monk's BBQ in Purcellville, just yards from the end point.

Location

Railroad Trail, Washington and Old Dominion Trail, Arlington, 22206, VA, United States
