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.

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 (we will do our best but cannot guarantee a t-shirt 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!
