Why Morven Park? 

Morven Park, located in Leesburg, VA, is an ideal setting for an early season event, with  expertly manicured grass fields and intentionally designed natural pathways. 

This year's course will be flatter and faster than in year's past, but races will still be run on wide open fields and connected loops which afford spectators and coaches a direct connection, in multiple areas, to cheer on runners and to evaluate their form.

Final courses will be shared in July 2026!

Team Registration Fees & Pricing

Pricing is determined by the total number of athletes registered. Boys and Girls teams are calculated and billed separately. High School and Middle School athletes are pooled together per gender to determine your overall squad size.

Individual Registration Fee

  • $25 per athlete for any age group or division

    Team Pricing Caps (Per Gender)

    Invoices will be capped at the following tiers based on your total squad size (Middle School and High School combined):

    Tier 1 Cap (10 to 25 Athletes): $250 maximum

    Once you register 10 runners, any additional athletes up to 25 are included at no extra cost.

        Tier 2 Cap (26+ Athletes): $350 maximum

        Designed for large programs. Register your entire middle school, development, and JV rosters without soaring costs; your squad price will never exceed $350 per gender.

        Billing

        If you would like to take care of payment as early as June 2026 and you already know your anticipated roster size, you can submit payment early. Teams are welcome to pay online or by check.
