Flip Flop 5K & Fun Run

Get ready to usher in summer with a festive stride at the Flip Flop 5K & Fun Run on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in Ashburn, VA. This isn't just a race; it's a celebration of sunshine and good vibes, designed to feel more like a beach party than a traditional run. Participants can choose their summer adventure, with distances including a 3.1-mile (5K) course and shorter 2K (1.24M) options, perfect for all ages and fitness levels. The 5K course winds through the scenic neighborhood streets of Ashburn Farm, offering a pleasant route before a "summer vibe" finish line in the parking lot of Crossroads United Methodist Church, which also serves as the start and finish point for both distances.

Embrace the lively atmosphere as you run or walk through Ashburn, cheered on by the sounds of steel drum bands and treated to tropical refreshments. One water stop will be available on the 5K course, and runners are encouraged to bring their own hydration. Typical race day conditions in early June boast highs around 81°F and lows around 61°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, creating a warm and inviting environment for this laid-back event. The organizers, also behind the popular Ashburn Farm Thanksgiving Day Races, ensure a well-managed experience that benefits local and international outreach efforts.

The Flip Flop 5K & Fun Run encourages participants to don their favorite summer attire, from Hawaiian shirts to sundresses, making for a colorful and spirited crowd. This event is a fantastic opportunity to kick off the summer, enjoy a scenic route through Ashburn, and make lasting memories with friends and family, all while supporting a worthy cause.
