PHOTOS: The BCC 5K and Fall Festival Draws a Crowd
Runners enjoyed cool weather now that fall weather has begun to creep in.
On Saturday, Potomac River Running and the Broadlands Community Church hosted the BCC 5K and Fall Festival in Ashburn.
The race kick-starts the fall season and likely marked the first time this year Ashburn residents pulled out hoodies, long sleeves and winter coats to attend a race!
The event was friendly for all ages with participants ranging from 4 to 79.
