Lace up your running shoes for the 6th Annual Feed Fairfax 5K on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in the vibrant Greenbriar neighborhood of Fairfax, VA! This uplifting event offers both a 3.11-mile (5K) race and a 1-mile fun run, providing an opportunity for all ages and fitness levels to participate and make a difference.

This isn't just a race; it's a community effort to provide weekend "Power Packs" for elementary school children in need. Following your race, participants and volunteers are invited to join a unique post-race experience: assembling these Power Packs, directly contributing to alleviating hunger for local children. Your registration includes a commemorative bib, a custom race shirt, and a finisher medal, with free photos available after the event to capture your achievement.

Expect pleasant running weather on race day, with typical highs around 70°F and lows around 49°F, and only a 17% chance of precipitation, creating comfortable conditions for your stride. Join fellow runners and community members for a fulfilling event that combines fitness with philanthropy, knowing that 100% of race entry fees and donations go directly to supporting local charities that feed hungry kids.
