One Thousand Schools 5K
This event in Alexandria, Virginia takes place on June 7, 2026 at 1 Marina Drive and offers in-person and virtual running options to support educational and residential programming for at-risk and homeless youth in Honduras. The in-person 5K is timed by DC Road Runners and follows the Mt. Vernon trail from Dangerfield Island park to Oronoco Park and back. The event includes a special guest who is an international ultramarathon runner and a YouTube personality. Participants in the 5K are entered in a drawing for a run-based trip to Honduras to train with a Honduran Olympian and a local run club.
