Event Description

The Spring Backyard Burn (SBYB) is a series of 5 and 10 mile trail running races held on some of the best trail networks in the Northern Virginia Area. All the courses include a mixture of forested fire roads, twisty hiking trails, stream crossings, grassy fields, and minimal pavement.

Situated on Gunston Cove and adjacent to Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Pohick Bay is steeped in beauty and history. The moderately technical course includes beautiful water views, tight singletrack, wide open doubletrack, a few short climbs, and flowy descents.
