Clifton Caboose Twilight Run

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.. 

After the run, stay for the Post Race Party at the Red Barn! Bring a picnic dinner and enjoy live music, an awards ceremony, snacks, and suds. Registered adult runners (21 & older) will receive 2 beer tickets. Additional tickets can be purchased on site for $5 each.
