Event Details



Overview

The Stone Ridge 5K Race for Education starts at 9 am on October 13th, Rain or Shine! The Kids 1K Fun Run will begin immediately after the 5K runners start. This is a family-friendly event with abundant prizes and a flat, fast course, making it an ideal race for everyone, including walkers. Join us as we raise money for the Dulles South area schools.

Charity Beneficiary

This event is designed to benefit the local public schools in the Dulles South area of Loudoun County, including Pinebrook Elementary, Little River Elementary, Hutchison Farm Elementary, Arcola Elementary, Aldie Elementary, Mercer Middle School, and Freedom High School. The Loudoun County school system has added 3,000 students per year for the last 10 years, and as new schools have opened the infrastructure needs often must wait for funding to catch up. We hope to engage your support for a very worthwhile cause as we help supplement the learning environment in our children’s schools.

Registration

ChampionChip Timing and Scoring

ChampionChip timing will be used to score the race. The system uses a computer "Chip" which must be tied to runners' shoelaces, and records the exact time a runner crosses both the start and the finish line, resulting in a net or "Chip" time. Overall awards will be based on "clock time" and age group awards will be based on "Chip time." You must wear your ChampionChip on your shoe and cross the mats at the start and finish to be scored. ChampionChips are returned to race coordinators after the race. Discount Only for ChampionChip Owners: ChampionChip owners may deduct $2 by providing their personal 7-character ChampionChip identification number with their registration. Please register before race day to avoid errors in ChampionChip number data entry on Saturday.
