Doggy Dash 5k & 10k

The Doggy Dash 5k & 10k is set for Sunday, March 29, 2026, at the Ida Lee Recreation Center in Leesburg, VA. This multi-terrain race offers a diverse running experience, combining rolling hills, cross-country stretches, and paved sections for a unique and scenic challenge. Organized by Travis Bishop, the event is designed for runners who enjoy a mix of surfaces and a community-centered atmosphere just outside the historic center of Leesburg.

Participation and Logistics

The event is located at 60 Ida Lee Dr NW. Runners should prepare for a course that is not strictly road-based, as the cross-country and rolling hill segments require steady footing. For those who cannot attend in person, virtual tiers are available, including options with or without commemorative medals. While the "Virtual with Medal and Shirt" option has already closed, participants can still register for basic virtual participation or the live event. Parking is available at the Ida Lee Recreation Center, but early arrival is suggested to allow for check-in before the 8:30 AM start.

Registration Deadlines

Registration remains open through race day, Sunday, March 29, 2026. Late registrations on the day of the event are available at the highest pricing tier. For any specific questions regarding the route map or volunteer opportunities for the race weekend, event coordinator Travis Bishop can be reached via the official race portal. The Ida Lee Recreation Center serves as a major community hub, providing a convenient and well-facilitated location for participants and their spectators.
