We are not holding this event in 2022 but hope to be back in 2023.
The Ran It With Janet 50K is an annual event that typically takes place on National Trails Day, the first Saturday in June.
We are not holding this event in 2022 but hope to be back in 2023.
The running course takes place within the Manassas National Battlefield Park located in Manassas, Virginia. Comprised of three loops, the start and finish area will be at Brownsville Picnic Area off of Groveton Road.
Apart from the absolute enjoyment of running, one of the goals is to benefit the Embry Rucker Community Shelter operated by Cornertones in Reston, VA. Please donate directly to Embry Rucker Community Shelter. This maximizes the benefit that they receive from your donation, as varying payment processors collect different amounts to cover the processing costs. In leiu of monetary donations, the shelter also maintains a "wishlist" of items that are in most need throughout the year.
The start and finish of the Ran It With Janet 50K course is the Brownsville Picnic Area on the west side of the Manassas National Battlefield Park. Accessible from Groveton road, this spacious area provides for ample parking, has a pavilion, and bathroom facilities.
