Sign-up Here!

What a wonderful morning we had on Veterans Day for our 7th Annual JSMT10K! In 2017, Loudoun Road Runners renamed the Loudoun 10K Trail Race the Jim Schatz Memorial Trail 10K in honor of our founding race director and club member extraordinaire, Jim Schatz.  Each year since it's inception,  the weather has been glorious -- cold perhaps -- but never rain. This year was an amazing day shared with all those who participated for a common goal -- to run or walk the trail course with fellow runners, family and friends -- and to raise money for Boulder Crest Retreat.

Thank you to all the runners who gave it their all and endured the muddy trails along this challenging, yet scenic course, through the landscape of Camp Highroad. You are true warriors!

Thank you to our headline sponsors, Toth Financial and IT Concepts. Thank you to our other sponsors: INOVA, Commonwealth Emergency Physicians, Dirt Farm Brewing Co., TCB Associates, Catoctin Coffee, Two Hands in Harmony Pottery, and a big thanks to our anonymous and individual donors!

Thank you to the Arcola Volunteer Fire Department. They provide medical assistance and support for our race each and every year!

Thank you to our race director, Allison Abbe, our race committee and to all the Loudoun Road Runners and volunteers who gave their time and expertise that contributed to the success of our race!

Thank you to Ken Falke, Founder, Boulder Crest Retreat, for participating each year and your kind remarks during the opening ceremonies. We so appreciate you and your staff and we look forward to a continued relationship with you and your team.

Because of everyone's generous support we raised $31,000 for Boulder Crest Retreat! We also want to thank all those who have served and continue to serve in our military to defend our country. We support you and are grateful for your service!

PACKET PICKUP is only available on race day at Camp Highroad's Poplar Lodge. Please try to arrive by 8 am to give yourself time to park and get your packet before the race starts.

AWARDS will be given to the top three male and female finishers and the youngest and oldest finishers. Top and age-group winners will receive a hand-made ceramic medal from local runner and artist Pat Miller. 
PROCEEDS of the race will go to Boulder Crest Retreat to help U.S. military vets recover from the emotional and physical scars of war. We are grateful to the runners, volunteers, and sponsors who have helped us raise more than $100,000 in donations since our first trail race.
