Join us for the inspiring Shelane's Run 5K and 1K Fun Run on Saturday, October 18th, 2025, at the Fairfax County Government Center! This annual event is a heartfelt tribute to Shelane Gaydos, a dedicated mother who faced the challenges of postpartum depression. Friends and family established this race to honor her legacy and to raise awareness about mental health issues affecting new parents.

This year, participants can look forward to a vibrant day filled with community spirit, as we come together to support Shelane's Fund. This vital program provides financial assistance to families dealing with postpartum depression and related mental health challenges. Lace up your running shoes and get ready for an uplifting experience that not only promotes fitness but also fosters compassion and understanding. Whether you're running the 5K or enjoying the 1K Fun Run, your participation helps make a difference for mothers and families in need. Don't miss out on this chance to honor Shelane's memory while making a positive impact in the community!
