Trail Demon 5K/10K

The Trail Demon 10K, presented by Bishop's Events, offers a challenging yet incredibly scenic trail running experience on April 4, 2026, in Bluemont, VA. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains and starting at Dirt Farm Brewing, this race promises panoramic views of the Loudoun Valley. The course itself is a technical forest trail, a 5K loop that 10K runners will complete twice, featuring tree roots, rocks, and significant elevation changes designed to give your muscles a real workout.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 61°F and lows near 38°F, along with a modest 12% chance of precipitation, making for ideal spring trail running weather. Five water stations are strategically placed along the 10K course at approximately miles 0.6, 1.7, 3.1, 3.9, and 5, with Gatorade available at some to keep you fueled. Packet pickup and race day registration are conveniently offered at the event, though early registration is recommended to guarantee your technical event shirt.

Beyond the personal challenge, the Trail Demon 10K offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause, as all proceeds benefit the Boulder Crest Foundation, supporting combat veterans, first responders, and their families. Finishers will earn a well-deserved medal and, as many past participants attest, that post-race glass of beer from Dirt Farm Brewing will truly be earned as you soak in the "incredible views."
