Adult 5k Run

The 5k route is best for adult runners. The course is an out-and-back course, that starts and ends at the Church. PLEASE NOTE: because the route parallel's a main road and is on a public narrow trail, we recommend that only adults or older children with adult supervision participate in the 5k run. (There is a small section on the course that is not paved, and therefore will not be suitable for strollers)

Organiser's description

DETAILS: THE 2024 WRR FOR LIFE HAS BEEN STRUCTURED AS A VIRTUAL, DISTRIBUTED EVENT WITH AN IN-PERSON CLOSING PROGRAM. This virtual event means individuals, families, and groups can gather, WEAR THEIR WALK-RUN-RIDE SHIRT and represent life in your part of the community-spreading the message across Fairfax County. We are leaning heavily on teams to be formed and participate in this event together and hope this means your small group, youth group, or family can complete their walk, run, or ride any time between April 20th and May 4th, at their preferred location. Our goal is to increase our reach and participation through this model. In future years we may return to a scheduled, centralized event as we constantly search for ways to champion the cause of life.
