Join us for the inaugural Damascus Festival of Miles, a timed loop event set in the heart of the beautiful Damascus, Virginia. This exciting race offers 3, 6, and 12-hour options this year, with plans for a 24-hour challenge next year. Race participants will complete laps on a scenic 1-mile loop through the park, with more than 100 spots available for runners to set up their campsites right next to the course.

The festivities kick off on Friday, October 3, with a half day of race prep and early packet pick-up. On Saturday, October 4, the full race day begins with live music, food trucks, and a vibrant atmosphere at the park’s gazebo, where participants and spectators can relax and enjoy the event.

For those planning to stay the night, registered runners will have the unique opportunity to camp overnight on Friday in their reserved space, making this a true festival experience.

Whether you’re looking to challenge yourself for a few hours or spend the day racing around the loop, the Damascus Festival of Miles offers an unforgettable experience in one of Virginia’s most scenic and welcoming race locations.
