Note: Start line is DIFFERENT than it has been in the past. We are NOT starting at Langley High School.  We ARE starting at Langley Fork Park. The High School is out for this year and at least next year due to construction. See below for details.

Please join us for the fifth Snowball Series race of the season.

Race Director: James Scarborough.

Registration: Please register online to avoid congestion at the start.  On-site registration begins at 9 a.m., one hour before the race start (10 a.m.).

Entry Fee: Free for DCRRC members; $5 for non-members who pre-register online.  $5 for members, $10 for non-members on race day.

Refund policy for low key races: In the event the race is canceled, pre-paid non-members will receive a credit to be applied to a future low-key race.

Location and Directions: Start line will be in the Langley Fork Park.  Take George Washington Parkway to Chain Bridge Road/Dolly Madison Blvd toward McLean, Rt-123 South.  After 0.9 mile, turn right onto Georgetown Pike.  (Don't turn early, or you'll visit the CIA, which can neither confirm nor deny anything about a race.)  After 0.15 mile, turn right onto Colonial Farm Road, at the intersection with the "FHWA Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center | Claude Moore Colonial Farm" sign.  The entrance to the Langley Fork Park main parking lot will be 100 yards ahead on your left.  Please park in the main lot, not in the little lot off Georgetown Pike where we'll have the start/finish line set up.

Other information: The Langley 8K is Snowball Series Race #5.

Distance and Course Description: 8K. The course will start at the Langley Fork Park. The course will be run on the bike path and will follow a similar path as previous years (excluding the Langley HS portions). Here is the course certification map. Out on the bikepath towards the Beltway.  Pass Langley HS entrance.  Right on Mackall Avenue, and do the course as before, until you get to Benjamin and Lawton.  Then go STRAIGHT on Benjamin to Balls Hill Road, turn right, take right on Arbor Lane, right on Lawton, left on Benjamin, and the remainder is the same returning as it was going out.  Best described as an "out and back with loop in the middle" course.  (No extra distance added on River Oaks Drive; no running into the school parking lot, etc.).

Volunteers: Please contact James Scarborough if you are available to help out before or during the race. Volunteering during the race will fulfill the Snowball Series requirement.
