KCS WF SAREE RUN

Leesburg, VA

Opens Aug 13, 2026Annual since at least 2025

About the KCS WF SAREE RUN

The course runs across the grounds of a historic plantation outside of Leesburg, on grass and wooded trails with rolling terrain. There are a couple of creek crossings and some short, sharp climbs, so expect a workout underfoot rather than a smooth road surface. The race is organized around Breast Cancer Awareness and is open to a wide range of participants.

Packet pickup happens on race morning before the start, and an opening ceremony and warm-up are built into the schedule before the gun goes off. Free parking is available on site; take the first right after entering the gate.

Common Questions About the KCS WF SAREE RUN

Will I finish last at the KCS WF SAREE RUN?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 49:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:35:02, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the KCS WF SAREE RUN a good first 5K?

It is a small race (113 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the KCS WF SAREE RUN?

The 5K winner ran 24:08 while the median finisher took 49:54. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
