Organiser's Description

The Navy Yard 5K is a community-minded event, connecting runners, tenants, and organizations through fitness and fun. Involvement presents an ideal opportunity to raise awareness of your business or organization and to support the Navy Yard community. It also provides a great team-building event for your organization as teammates can run, volunteer, or just cheer alongside their co-workers!

This unique event will take place at lunchtime on Central Green at the Navy Yard. Whether you participate as a runner, walker, course volunteer, or as a spectator, we hope to see you there! Beginning at 11:30, everyone is encouraged to visit the Health + Wellness Expo in Central Green, featuring Navy Yard tenants educating employees on all aspects of workplace health, wellness, nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle.

This year, we will be offering a 5K and 1 Miler. The event remains free for both and all participants will get Navy Yard 5K-branded swag. It is all about fun and camaraderie! Plus it is the 25th Anniversary of the Navy Yard so we are making it an extra special party!

After the race, well celebrate with awards, music, and refreshments! And don't forget to bring your lunch money for that week's food trucks to fuel your post-race party.

_NOTE ABOUT TEAMS WHEN REGISTERING_: All registrants will be asked to join a team representing their corporate group. If you don't see your team name listed, feel free to add it! This will allow your co-workers to join your company's team and help us keep track of all teams attending. There will be a special prize for the largest corporate team so spread the word!

A few other things to note:

* The course is not officially measured so may not be an exact 5K (or mile)
* The run is not officially timed but there will be a clock for you to check yourself against personal goals at the finish line
* Bag check will also be available during the run so you can keep any items you might need post-race closeby.
