The Mother's Day 4-Miler in Reston is a race that I run for the camaraderie, celebration of moms (with a flower at the finish line!) and the family-friendly party going on during and after the race.
It is
not a race that I run for the course, which is basically a triangle of main roads with a short jaunt at the beginning and end as you exit and enter
Browns Chapel Park. And the course is hilly, but it does finish on a solid downhill.

Mile 1
- Slight downhill as you exit the park, then a steady uphill on Baron Cameron Ave
- Ends a bit after the turn onto Reston Pkwy
Mile 2
- A nice flat stretch on Reston Pkwy
- The water stop is typically towards the end of the mile
- Ends just past Great Owl Dr
Mile 3
- A last bit of flat on Reston Pkwy, then onto Wiehle Ave where you go down a hill and then up a hill
- Ends a little bit past Center Harbor Road
Mile 4
- The first half has rolling hills on Wiehle Ave, the second half is a great downhill on Baron Cameron Ave, followed by a slight uphill as you enter the park
- Ends where you started, by the playground in Browns Chapel Park
