BRR Training Run #3 (The South)

This is the last of the three winter training runs in preparation for the Bull Run Run 50 Miler course ahead of this April’s race. Come out and get some easy rolling miles on the downstream (southern) section of the Bull Run-Occoquan Trail (the BROT)! Starting at the Fountainhead Regional Park trailhead at 8 am, this run will cover the sections of the course between the Fountainhead and Marina aid stations during the race.

The Baby Bull #3 route will be minimally marked, and will otherwise rely on the blazing on the trails. The earliest section of the run will be a loop around a nearly two-mile section of a white blazed Fountainhead connector trail. From there, we will be utilizing the blue-blazed BROT almost exclusively, on an out-and-back trail run totaling just over a half marathon in distance. The turnaround point is at the Bull Run Marina, which will be the location of an aid station during the BRR 50 miler. There will be minimal aid here for this training run (primarily water).

To date, all of these Baby Bull runs have drawn several dozen runners of all abilities and running speeds. So come on out, and look to find other runners of similar pace to cover the course. Those of you not familiar with the course should not worry, as these sections are not particularly tricky to follow.

Shoot Baby Bull Training Run #3 organizer Quatro Hubbard a message if you have questions, comments or concerns. Hope to see you there! And entry is still available for the Bull Run Run 50 miler, for those still shopping for a fun spring race!
