Healthy Start Mind & Body 5K Run/Walk
The Healthy Start Mind & Body 5K Run/Walk is an annual event held at Occoquan Regional Park in Lorton, Virginia. Now in its seventh year, the event focuses on raising awareness for Alzheimer’s disease and emphasizing the connection between physical activity and cognitive health. Participants traverse a paved course that follows the Occoquan River, providing views of the natural terrain and the surrounding park environment.
The event features a single distance:
- 5 km run or walk
The race environment includes a DJ on-site to provide music for participants. Upon completion of the 5 km course, an awards ceremony is held at the Occoquan Regional Park Pavilion. This ceremony is accompanied by a catered luncheon for those involved.
The event serves as a platform to support the Alzheimer’s Association and its efforts in providing care, programming, and research for the millions of Americans affected by the disease. Registration for the event typically takes place during the summer months leading up to the race date in October. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
