Travel

Loudoun County is located in Northern Virginia, just 35 miles west of Washington, D.C. in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It borders both West Virginia and Maryland. Home to two international airports, Loudoun is easy to get to from all parts of the globe. It is also accessible via numerous Interstate Highways and US Highways.

Use the links on the left to help plan your trip and secure your lodging property as our participating hotels offer special rates for race participants and their family and guests. The first step is getting here. Here is some information to help decide your means of travel.
