For each 8.5 mile loop:

1. Leave via the west entrance to the Lake Anne Village Center (LAVC) parking lot, turning left on
   North Shore Drive  
2. Proceed for about 1 mile along North Shore to right on the second Wainwright Drive intersection (Wainwright Drive is a loop road, so ignore the first intersection unless you like climbing hills)  
3. Left on the Reston trail about 50 yds. beyond the entrance to the apartment complex on the left  
4. Follow this trail to where it parallels Reston Parkway, crossing Bowman Green Drive, and turning right through the tunnel to the Spectrum Center (by the Barnes & Noble store).  
5. Follow the path along Reston Parkway, crossing the Dulles Toll Road, to Sunrise Valley Drive [Water stop may be located here].  
6. Left on Sunrise Valley Drive for about 2 miles to its intersection with the W&OD Trail  
7. Left on the W&OD Trail to Wiehle Ave [Water stop may be located here].  
8. Right on Wiehle to the first North Shore Drive intersection.  
9. Left on North Shore back to the LAVC parking lot (entering via the second entrance if you wish to record an honest 8.5 miles).

For a 10-mile option  Run only one 8.5-mile loop and modify that route as follows.

1. Proceed in the SE direction through the parking lot and turn left to the Lake Anne plaza.
2. Turn left towards the fountain and continue straight to the stairs leading out of the plaza and follow the NE RA path leading into the woods and an underpass.
3. Continue for a short distance and at the fork veer to the right.
4. At the next intersection turn right again and proceed on the path south towards the lake.
5. At the "T" near the lake, turn left and climb to the street and proceed east towards the RA path along the east side of the lake and turn right on the path (along side Wiehle Ave).
6. Proceed straight and turn right on the RA path leading to South Shore Road.
7. Continue on the path along the south shore of the lake, keeping right on the first two forks and left on the third intersection.  At the pool area descend the strairs and take path on the left side of the pool to North Shore Dr.
