Banditing Policy
A bandit is defined as an unauthorized runner who participates in a race without officially registering or paying the entry fee. This practice can strain race resources like water, medical aid, and space, potentially affecting the experience and safety of registered participants.
While banditing a race seems like a victimless activity, please consider that as a race company, we have many factors to consider. Event safety and security of all participants is a top priority for us, and not knowing who is participating in our race can be a problem in case of injury or illness. Additionally, we provide supplies and personnel along our courses based on registration. Bandits can takeaway supplies that have not been allocated to them and this can cause the race to run low on first aid supplies, water, snacks, etc. There are also legal liabilities involved in case of a bandit runner possibly being injured during the race, as they haven’t signed any waivers during the registration process.
We do not allow banditing of our races, and violators may face removal from the course, disqualification from future events, as well as disqualification from the current event of any participant you may be running with.

Banditing Policy
A bandit is defined as an unauthorized runner who participates in a race without officially registering or paying the entry fee. This practice can strain race resources like water, medical aid, and space, potentially affecting the experience and safety of registered participants.
While banditing a race seems like a victimless activity, please consider that as a race company, we have many factors to consider. Event safety and security of all participants is a top priority for us, and not knowing who is participating in our race can be a problem in case of injury or illness. Additionally, we provide supplies and personnel along our courses based on registration. Bandits can takeaway supplies that have not been allocated to them and this can cause the race to run low on first aid supplies, water, snacks, etc. There are also legal liabilities involved in case of a bandit runner possibly being injured during the race, as they haven’t signed any waivers during the registration process.
We do not allow banditing of our races, and violators may face removal from the course, disqualification from future events, as well as disqualification from the current event of any participant you may be running with.

Directions to Parking
There is parking at Lake Fairfax Park in the very back of the park by the soccer fields (1400 Lake Fairfax Dr, Reston, VA 20190). You will drive past the water park, the large parking lot, and eventually get to a point where you can either go right or left. Go to the left (away from the skatepark and the campground) and to the back soccer fields.
