Clifton Caboose Twilight Run
About this race
Join us on Saturday, May 30 at 6:00 pm for the Clifton Caboose 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run
The start/finish line is just a few feet from the Triangle (the intersection of Clifton, Newman and Main Streets); near the Barn located at 7139 Main Street, Clifton, VA 20124
Both the 1-Mile Fun Run and the 5k begin in the turn-of-the-century town of Clifton, VA. The scenic course winds down a gently rolling country road, across a creek, and past a horse or two, then back to the start line. There will be water along the course and near the turnaround point.
The 1-Mile Fun Run starts at 6:00 pm. Once it is finished, we'll line up the 5K runners and walkers. We strongly suggest all 5K participants be ready and at the start line at 6:00 pm.
Parking is available at Clifton ES, the floodplain off Newman Road, and throughout town. Please do not park at Trummer's restaurant..
