Races will take place on Sunday, September 16, 2018, on a USATF certified course around picturesque Burke Lake Park in Fairfax Station, VA., located outside of Washington, DC. All proceeds benefit the WIFLE Scholarship Fund. Course is on a mix of wooded trails with crushed stone and paved paths circling beautiful Burke Lake and Lake Mercer. Whether it is the views of the crystal blue lake or the serenity of tree lined trails, this race is truly inspiring. There will be five aid stations serving both water and sports drink every 2-3 miles. Awards will be provided to the top three male and female half marathon finishers and top three male and female 10K finishers. Gift certificates for top three age group winners.

No matter what your reason for running, know that profits from this race go directly to the Women In Federal Law Enforcement (WIFLE) Foundation Scholarship fund. This fund provides scholarships for 4-5 college students pursuing studies for a career in law enforcement and related fields. The future of agencies like DEA, Homeland Security, Border Patrol and National Park Police, to name a few, need qualified, dedicated men and women to protect this great nation. So invite your friends and family to join you in running for this great cause.
