About the King George Fall Festival 5K, 1 Mile, and Tot Trot
The course runs on the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail, starting from the Bloomsbury Road trailhead. It is an out-and-back on a rail trail, so the terrain is even and the route straightforward. The surrounding area is wooded and quiet, and jogging strollers are welcome on the path.
Post-race, there is a spread of drinks to rehydrate, including apple cider alongside the usual options. Runners who head to the Fall Festival afterward are entered into a raffle for food truck coupons. A photo area with straw bales and pumpkins is set up near the finish.
