=PR= Races: Run with Dad 5K

Lace up and celebrate the special bond with your dad at the =PR= Races: Run with Dad 5K, set for Sunday, June 21, 2026, in scenic Reston, VA. This heartwarming event, hosted by the reputable =PR= Races, offers both a 5K and a 1 Mile Fun Run, with options for live participation or a virtual experience, ensuring everyone can join the festivities. Starting and finishing at South Lakes High School, the course is designed to be enjoyable for all, winding through the paved paths of the Reston Association and the wooded trails of the Glade Stream Valley Park. Runners can expect a stroller-friendly route with only a few rolling hills, largely shaded by the tree canopy, providing a pleasant running experience.

This race stands out as a true celebration of fathers and father figures, making it an ideal family outing. Participants will receive a commemorative race shirt, a unique bib, a one-of-a-kind medal, and enjoy post-race snacks. Free race day photos capture those memorable moments, adding to the charm of the event. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as age group winners in five-year increments, with past events even recognizing top father/child teams and intergenerational teams. For the youngest aspiring runners, a "Tot Trot" on the track adds to the family-friendly atmosphere.

Typical race day conditions in late June in Reston often feature highs around 86°F and lows around 64°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but potentially invigorating morning run. With its engaging atmosphere, well-organized setup, and focus on family fun, the =PR= Races: Run with Dad 5K promises to be an unforgettable way to create cherished memories and honor the dads in your life.
