Bands on the Run 5K
The Bands on the Run 5K is scheduled for Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Langley High School in Mc Lean, Virginia (6520 Georgetown Pike, Mc Lean, VA 22101). The event features a 5K run and walk that begins and finishes at the high school and follows an out-and-back route through the tree-lined Langley Oaks residential neighborhood.
This event serves as a fundraiser for the Cooper Middle School and Langley High School band programs. Funds support professional sectional teachers, guest clinicians, repair and replacement of instruments and equipment, uniforms, and scholarship funds for students who need financial assistance to participate in band activities.
Online registration remains open through race day. Registration fees are $45 through March 27 and $60 from March 28 through April 26. Registrants receive a cotton race t-shirt; sizes are guaranteed for participants registered by March 14. Packet pick-up is available Saturday, April 25 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Langley High School (door 14) and on race day from 7:15 am to 7:45 am in the school parking lot.
The event is stroller friendly and, because it starts and ends on FCPS property, animals are not permitted. Post-race features include live DJ music, snacks, a photo opportunity, and sponsor booths. The event proceeds regardless of weather and refunds are not offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
