Register for 2021 Runners Marathon of Reston
The Reston Runners are hosting the 8th annual Runners Marathon of Reston on Sunday, April 11, 2021, 7:30 AM. The event will be in-person and includes a marathon, half marathon, 2-leg half marathon relay and 4-leg marathon relay. The racecourse has some hills and turns, and provides runners a mixture of fast downhill road running, beautiful paved trails, and some lightly challenging uphill sections. The course is a 13.1 mile loop; marathoners run the course twice.
We provide an extensive post-race feast for all participants, volunteers and their families. The race starts and finishes at South Lakes High School. The course is amply supported with eager volunteers, porta-potties, race-course food and Gatorade. Runners and volunteers receive a race shirt (tech or sweatshirt), hoorag and other goodies at packet pick up.
To maintain social distancing and ventilation-related recommendations, we will not be hosting our traditional pre-race festivities at the school on Saturday, and all race-day festivities will occur outdoors under a tent. Details regarding COVID-related safety precautions will be published on the marathon website as the event nears.

Here are our current plans for 2021: In these times, there are no certainties about the future of gathering, running in groups, and racing with our fellow runners - in person. While your RMR planning team is well aware of these uncertainties, we are choosing to plan for 2021 in the hopes we will be able to gather safely and run the race we were denied in 2020.
**We are securing the use of South Lakes High school track and parking lots for the marathon, half-marathon, and relay finish and post-race activities
**There will be no indoor activities, such as the traditional pre-race dinner and post-race party in the school
**Race-day pre- and post-race activities will take place in a tent (think: wedding reception) in the parking lot near the start/finish
**Those registered for 2020 will receive e-coupons to allow them to register for $25
**If we must cancel the 2021 race, we will provide full refunds (minus the “service fee” charged by Enmotive)
**Registration will be capped at 750 runners to facilitate social distancing during pre- and post-race activities. The capped number is subject to change based on any county/state restrictions or mandates.
