Healthy Strides 5K 10K

The Healthy Strides event at Burke Lake Park in Fairfax Station, VA, offers road and trail running options and a short kids dash.

Distances:

5K : paved, tree-lined road through the park; wheelchair and stroller accessible.
10K : 6.2-mile wooded trail that circles the lake; trail running with a pace requirement (faster than a 17-minute mile).
Tots/Kids Dash : short dash for ages 2-5 and 6-10.

The event is limited to a maximum of 550 participants. Registration fees are tiered: early-period fees are listed at $35 for the 5K/10K and $15 for the kids dash; later-period fees increase to $40 and $20 respectively. Registration is non-refundable, may close early upon sell out, and there is no late registration during packet pickup or on race day.

Packet pickup is available the day before at the Burke Lake Park Ice Cream Parlor and on race morning at the park; registrants receive a reusable event tote at packet pickup. Kids dash participants and their family and friends must wait until the course is cleared before leaving the park.

All finishers receive a commemorative finisher medal. Awards are given to top overall male and female finishers and to top male and female finishers in the stated age groups. Timing is managed by Commonwealth Race Management using the ChronoTrack B disposable tag system. A portion of proceeds supports the Fairfax County Park Foundation.
