4.95K Fun Run - McLean
This event marks the opening of the 495 Express Lanes Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail in McLean, Virginia. It is organized by the Virginia Department of Transportation and Transurban, operator of the 495 Express Lanes, and is presented as a free, family-friendly celebration.
The program includes participant check-in, remarks and a ribbon cutting, a community 4.95K Fun Run/Walk, and a 495M Kids Race. The 4.95K distance references I-495; the new trail runs parallel to I-495 and the 495 Express Lanes and was built as part of the 495 NEXT project.
