What's Open, Closed For Memorial Day 2021 In Loudoun County

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — For some, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, a time for barbecues, pool parties, and yard games. For others, it is a time for somber remembrance, to honor servicemembers who died in the line of duty.

In Loudoun County, residents can celebrate the occasion with a charity "Freedom Run," or a ceremony at the Loudoun County courthouse in Leesburg.

The Ringing In Hope: Salute Our Troops Freedom Runwill offer 10K, 5K, and 1K options on Memorial Day. The longer races will begin at 8 a.m., while the 1K fun run will begin at 9:30 a.m. Runners can choose to participate virtually or in-person. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Boulder Crest Foundation in Bluemont.

The Town of Leesburg will also hold their own annual Memorial Day observance. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. at the Loudoun County courthouse. Colonel Phil Rusciolelli, who served in the Army for 32 years, will be the event's guest speaker.

Leesburg Mayor Kelly Burk will speak as well before placing a wreath on the county's memorial for fallen soldiers. The event can be livestreamed on Leesburg's Facebook page.
