The massive outpouring of support for Donald Trump in Leesburg, Virginia on Sunday night resulted in some supporters walking over two miles to get to the venue.
Reporters and others on scene tweeted some people walked as far as two-and-and-half miles.

“Trump rally in Leesburg…people walking 2.5 miles to stand in line!” Michelle Galindez tweeted.
Sputnik News’ Cassandra Fairbanks reported she was a mile and a half from the rally and people were simply parking on the side of the road and hoofing it.

Many supporters waited in the dark because the line stretched so far from the venue. Makeshift lighting appeared to be erected:

The rally ended up starting well after midnight, but supporters didn’t seem to mind.
