Lace up your running shoes for the Lost Dog 10K, a truly unique event taking place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the historic Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, VA. This charitable race offers runners the chance to conquer a 10K course while directly supporting the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation, with 25% of profits dedicated to finding loving homes for homeless pets.

The course itself winds through the beautifully restored, 55-acre Workhouse Arts Center campus, providing a scenic and engaging backdrop for your run. Expect varied terrain as you navigate the historic grounds, which include green spaces and established trails. As a Bishop's Events production, the Lost Dog 10K is known for being well-organized, offering a chip-timed experience, a technical event shirt, and a finisher's medal for all participants. Aid stations will be available along the route to keep you hydrated.

What truly sets this race apart is its welcoming atmosphere for both two-legged and four-legged participants; leashed dogs experienced with organized runs are encouraged to join their human companions. Walkers and strollers are also heartily welcomed, making this a perfect event for the whole family to enjoy. Typical race day conditions in early October offer ideal running weather, with highs around 72°F and lows around 53°F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation. Celebrate your accomplishment and contribute to a fantastic cause at this memorable Lorton event.
