Pleasant Valley 5K Run/Walk, Aquathlon Challenge, and Dog Swim
The Pleasant Valley event in Chantilly, Virginia brings together a neighborhood 5K run/walk, an aquathlon that pairs a pool swim with a 5K run, and an afternoon dog swim at the community pool. The 5K course goes through the Pleasant Valley subdivision and connects to nearby Fairfax County trails. The event is described as an annual community fundraiser held on September 12, 2026.
Entries and participant benefits vary by event. 5K and virtual 5K entries include a race shirt, post run recovery snacks, online result submission, and a scenic run through the neighborhood and adjacent trails. The aquathlon includes a pool swim followed by the same 5K course, plus a shirt, post event water and snacks, and online result submission. The afternoon dog swim reserves the pool for dogs, offers optional shirt upgrades, and includes event photos.
All proceeds from the event are directed to the Pleasant Valley Pool and the Pleasant Valley Recreation Association to support maintenance and capital improvements; organizers aim to address facility needs and reduce recent capital improvement debt. The event site notes that registered participants receive a race t-shirt, free race day photos, a digital finisher certificate, music, and on-site snacks while supplies last.
Location: Pleasant Valley Pool, 4347 Cub Run Road, Chantilly, VA 20151. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
