OSS/CIA 50 Mile Night Run

Run 50 miles on the trails that gave birth to the Central Intelligence Agency Prior to World War II, the United States created the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which served as the United States’ first clandestine intelligence gathering agency, and the predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Prince William Forest was used as a primary location for training OSS spies for infiltrating enemy territory in the Asian and European theatres during World War II. Roads and trails pay tribute in name to the park's history as the United States' first training center for spies. Additionally, the cabins provided in certain areas of the park for camping, are the original cabins utilized by the "nameless" soldiers as they learned to ply their trade as a spy.
