Nobody Walks Alone 5K

Lace up for a truly inspiring event at the 5th Annual Nobody Walks Alone 5K, set to take place on Sunday, September 13, 2026, in scenic Virginia Beach, VA. This family-friendly 5K at Mt. Trashmore Park offers a unique blend of fitness and philanthropy, with all proceeds supporting The COMMIT Foundation's vital work in empowering individuals, particularly veterans, by fostering purpose, identity, and connection within communities. The course itself winds through the beautiful paved trails of Mt. Trashmore, a perfect setting for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, and even allows leashed canine companions to join in the fun.

What truly sets the Nobody Walks Alone 5K apart is the optional integration of Spartan DEKA elements for those seeking an added challenge. Participants can tackle various fitness stations along the 3.1-mile route, featuring rams for lunges and burpees, Dyna balls for overhead sit-ups, plyo boxes, assault bikes, and kettlebells for farmer's carries. This offers a dynamic experience beyond a traditional road race, catering to both casual participants and those looking to test their strength and endurance. With a 9:00 AM EDT start, typical race day conditions in mid-September often bring highs around 82°F and lows around 68°F, with a slight 13% chance of precipitation, creating a generally warm and inviting atmosphere.

Throughout your journey, PATH water will be provided to keep you hydrated. Whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a leisurely walk with loved ones, or embracing the DEKA challenges, the Nobody Walks Alone 5K promises an uplifting experience that directly contributes to a meaningful cause. For those unable to join in person, a virtual option is also available, extending the spirit of community nationwide.
