Fauquier Education Farm 5K and Fun Run

Lace up your trail shoes for the Fauquier Education Farm 5K and Fun Run, set for Saturday, June 13, 2026, in scenic Warrenton, VA. This event offers both a challenging 5K and an approximate 1-mile Fun Run, providing an invigorating experience for runners and walkers alike. Participants will not only push their limits but also support the Fauquier Education Farm, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to agricultural education and donating its entire harvest to local food banks. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature pleasant morning temperatures, with historical highs around 84°F and lows around 62°F, alongside a low 16% chance of precipitation.

The 5K course, which starts and finishes at the Fauquier Education Farm located at 8428 Meetze Road, is a true cross-country challenge. Runners will navigate a beautiful and demanding section of the Stafford Farm Trail, featuring stream crossings, shaded wooded trails, and pathways through bucolic, rolling fields and pastures. Expect a course with its share of hills, offering both a physical test and ample opportunity to take in the diverse sights and sounds of native bird and insect species. The Fun Run covers the initial mile of the 5K, providing a taste of the same challenging terrain, including creek crossings and hills.

Beyond the race, the event offers a rewarding community atmosphere. After crossing the finish line, participants are invited to rehydrate, enjoy post-race snacks, and explore the 10-acre Fauquier Education Farm. This unique opportunity allows runners to tour the high tunnel and greenhouse, observe the crops being grown, and learn more about the farm's vital mission to advance agriculture and combat food insecurity in the community.
