Description
The 12th annual Spring Backyard Burn is a series of 5 and 10 mile trail
running races held on some of the best trail networks in the Northern
Virginia Area. All the courses include a mixture of forested fire roads,
twisty hiking trails, several stream crossings, grassy fields, and
minimal pavement.
The Spring and Fall Series are both independent of each other. A point system adding competitor's five-race point totals will be used to determine the top finishers within each age group of the series.
