2026 Army v Navy 5k
The Army v Navy 5k is a community road race held at the National Museum of the United States Army in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, on December 12, 2026. Participants may register to represent either the United States Army or the United States Navy. Points from this race count toward the Year-Long 5k & Back of the Pack Series and toward the Fall Series.
The 5k uses an out-and-back route that begins in the museum's farthest parking lot and follows a paved multi-purpose path to the intersection of Route 1 and the Fairfax County Parkway. One water station is located along the course at approximately mile 1.55. Portajohns will be available near the start and finish area. Parking is available at the museum, which is on publicly accessible property and does not require military identification.
Race services include chip timing, a finisher’s medal, and a technical event shirt. T-shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before November 24; extras may be available afterward on a first-come first-served basis. The published registration fee for the 5k is $30 until November 15 and $35 after that; price increases by $5 on race morning. Live results will be posted on Athlinks and final results with series points will be posted on the organizer’s website the Monday after the race.
A virtual race option is available. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to the first and second place male and female in standard age groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
