Thinking about hitting this trail this weekend for some soft dirt running of about 15-18 miles. Never been there and wondering what the logistics are (parking, loops, water stops). Id like to start as close to DC as possible. Are there any good trails there that are soft dirt and not crushed gravel like C&O? thanks
look into the Fairfax Cross County trail or the trails in rock creek park. If you don't mind a drive, manassas battlefield is a great place for a run, so long as its not muddy.
umm, thanks but I was referring to the trail that is actually named Difficult Run. Getting tired of running RCP and C&O, looking for a nice change only thing is it has to be dirt with no need to worry about bad footing.
Also, I heard there was a 1k dirt loop around west potomac park somewhere near the polo or baseball fields. Anyone know if its still there or is it no covered with grass?
Park at Great Falls - run north towards River Bend Park- trail continues along river at River Bend Park - all dirt good footing - on way back when get to parking lot of River Bend Park head up into the hills - miles of trails between River Bend Park and Great Falls Park and all hilly dirt
ok thanks.
What about the Bull Run Occoquan trail?
Check out the Northface Challenge courses. You can go from Great Falls to Algonkian Park. If you're good with trails, you can go from Reston to the river first, then on to Algonkian.
