VIRTUAL 5K
Place
Washington, DC US 20002
Description
Enjoy autumn at the U.S. National Arboretum during FONA's Fall 5K. This run or walk will take you past garden collections brightly colored with fall foliage, over tree-lined rolling hills, and along streams winding their way to the Anacostia River.
This race is not only scenic, but also safe and secure. All roads are closed to cars during this race so you can safely enjoy running or walking through this 451-acre urban green space. We will have a professional race announcer calling out runners as they cross the finish line and there will be music before and after the event to get you in the groove.
Strollers and dogs are welcome, but dogs must stay on a 6' non-retractable leash.
Early packet pickup is not available to registrants who sign up after 1:00 pm on 11/10/2023. Please plan to pick up your bib on Sunday morning.
