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.

Course Info
Race #3 - 3/22/15 - Laurel Hill - Lorton, VA
Course Description (5.6 miles OR 9.9 miles)
After taking a year off due to construction, Laurel Hill is back and we are delighted to be returning to this excellent venue. Located off I95, just south of the Capital Beltway, this beautiful, fast, fun, and historic race course includes a mixture of forested and open meadow single-track meandering through 1600 acres of the former Lorton Prison complex. Under abandoned guard towers, we will stage out of the former prison 'yard' on the property of the Workhouse Arts Center. The race course has been redesigned so we will not need to cross Lorton Rd. Race at the Laurel Hill BYB and take a run through time and history.
