Broad Run (Loudoun County, Virginia)


Broad Run is a tributary of the Potomac River in Loudoun County, Virginia. The creek, located between Goose Creek and Sugarland Run, principally drains portions of eastern Loudoun County, as well as a small portion of western Fairfax County.
The headwaters of the creek are located about northeast of Aldie. The creek flows eastward near Arcola and continues generally northeast to its mouth at the Potomac near the southern end of Seldon's Island to the north of Sterling and about southeast of Leesburg. The watershed of the creek is 67.5 mi2 in Loudoun and 23.8 mi2 in Fairfax.
The Broad Run High School and Broad Run Magisterial District of Loudoun derive their names from the creek.
The creek should not be confused with the nearby Broad Run that flows through Fauquier and Prince William Counties.
