Glebe Elementary 5K & Fun Run

Lace up your running shoes for the annual Glebe Elementary 5K & Fun Run, a vibrant community event set to take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Arlington, VA. This beloved race offers participants the choice of a chip-timed 5K or a family-friendly 1 Mile Fun Run, welcoming runners of all ages and experience levels to hit the pavement with enthusiasm and spirit. Starting and finishing at Woodlawn Park, the event creates a festive atmosphere, though participants should note that for safety reasons, strollers and dogs are not permitted on either course. Expect comfortable running conditions with typical race day highs around 73°F and lows around 54°F, alongside a modest 17% chance of precipitation.

As you tackle the course, you'll find a water station strategically placed for 5K runners, with an additional station at the finish line area to help you refresh. Porta-potties are also available at Woodlawn Park for convenience. Beyond the personal challenge and health benefits, participating in the Glebe Elementary 5K & Fun Run contributes directly to a worthy cause; the event proudly supports the Glebe Elementary School PTA, helping to fund teacher grants, school events, and scholarships. This makes the race more than just a run; it's an opportunity to bond with neighbors and make a positive impact on local schools.
