Join us for the inspiring Shelane's Run 5K, 1K, and Family Day on Saturday, October 18th, 2025, at the Fairfax County Government Center! This heartfelt event honors the memory of Shelane Gaydos, a devoted mother and advocate for mental health awareness. After her tragic passing in 2015, friends and family established this annual run to celebrate her love for her family and community while shining a light on the importance of mental health, particularly postpartum depression.

Participants can choose from a 5K or 1K race, making it a perfect day for runners of all ages and abilities. Not only will you enjoy a fun-filled day with your loved ones, but you will also contribute to Shelane's Fund, which provides essential financial assistance to perinatal families facing mental health challenges. Come together to raise awareness, support families in need, and honor Shelane’s legacy. Be part of this uplifting community event that promises to be both meaningful and memorable!
