About the Dahlgren Trail Half Marathon
Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. This is a scenic out and back course on a flat, smooth old railroad bed. Cash prizes, great competition, good food (including the opportunity to roast Krispy Kreme donuts over the campfire!), and awesome swag all make this a memorable event.
