The runs will both start and finish at the Fairfax County Courthouse in Old Town.

The event consists of courses for both runners and walkers, and will involve the use of residential streets and major roadways in both the City of Fairfax and the adjoining area of Fairfax County.

Police will be blocking off the right eastbound lane of Main Street between Judicial Drive and West Street, as well as the right southbound lane of Chain Bridge Road between the entrance to the Fairfax County Courthouse and School Street.
