The PB&J competition is held in Prince William Forest Park, located less than 40 miles south of our nation’s capital, just off of I-95. It’s a hidden gem with shaded, undulating trails, a refreshing creek, and swinging bridges. It offers a fair mix of smooth and technical trails - perfect for new and experienced runners alike.

The start/finish area is at the Telegraph Road Pavilion, located a short distance past the park’s visitor center, within a half mile of the entrance to the park off of Joplin Road near I-95.

The course is a lollipop format with two on-trail aid stations (Mawavi Road and Turkey Run Education Center) along with the Start/Finish aid station. It will be well-marked; in fact, we’ve been told it’s one of the best-marked courses runners have seen!

This competition may be free but our aid stations are top-notch! While we do ask runners to bring one donated food or drink item (assigned before the day of the event), our volunteers often treat runners with home-cooked meals and snacks to fuel your run. It’s a special atmosphere that will keep you running strong and reach your goals.
