Another Run Thru Reston in the books ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the 13th annual RTR such a special day. From our RTR leadership team, volunteers, sponsors, photographers, and race day staff to every runner and walker who came out and supported the event — thank you.

This race is truly built by runners, for runners, and it would not be possible without the amazing community behind it. Seeing so many people out on the course, cheering at the finish line, volunteering, and supporting one another is what makes RTR so special every year.

Thank you as well to our incredible sponsors including Lifetime, Onelife Fitness, NOVA Foot & Ankle, Athletic Brewing, and many others for helping support this year’s race weekend.

We hope everyone had an amazing race day and we can’t wait to welcome you back next year for the 14th running of Run Thru Reston!
