As part of DLS's ongoing commitment to giving back and supporting causes important to our team members, we are organizing the3RD ANNUAL DLS 5K & 1 MILE FOR LEWY BODY DEMENTIA! Proceeds will benefit the Lewy Body Dementia Association [https://www.lbda.org/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6auyBhDzARIsALIo6v_hg3DsWPqQBfooPGlmWn6yE6Mu-qXMkbq7c6cK4EsfIlPT6pgSWc4aArLpEALw_wcB]. Lewy Body is a progressive brain disorder many people have never heard of - despite being the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer's.

Race date this year is SATURDAY, AUGUST 22ND. Race course will be out-and-back and mostly flat along the W&OD Trail. Start/finish line will be on the trail at Bon Air Park & Rose Gardens [https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/Bon-Air-Park]. All finishers will receive a t-shirt (t-shirt NOT guaranteed for those registering after July 22nd). Prizes awarded to the top finishers!

5k and 1-mile will start at 9:10AM. There will also be a KIDS' DASH (~300 meters) starting at 9:00am to kick things off! Kids will receive a prize at their finish line.

Timing will be done manually with a race clock and bibs (no chips).

Please come out to walk, jog, run, spectate, or volunteer! There are no pace requirements - everyone is welcome!
