Leesburg, VA (August 5, 2010) - The annual Leesburg 10K/20K to benefit the Loudoun County
YMCA will be held on Sunday, August 8, 2010. This event draws hundreds of area runners to
Leesburg in support of the YMCA.
The race route begins on Harrison Street in front of Market Station and proceeds south to
Catoctin Circle. Runners will go west on Catoctin Circle to Dry Mill Road, where they will turn
south and into Loudoun County. The return will bring runners back north on Dry Mill Road to
the W&OD Trail by Loudoun County High School and then back to Market Station.
Rolling street closures will be in effect along the race route and barricades will be in place at
intersections along Catoctin Circle to prevent vehicles from entering the race path. Motorists
should expect periodic road closures between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on Harrison Street,
Catoctin Circle, South King Street and Dry Mill Road. Dry Mill Road will be closed to traffic from
Catoctin Circle to Lee Avenue for the duration of the race. Residents and businesses in the
surrounding area should be aware of reduced accessibility to these streets.
