Pleasant Valley 5K Run/Walk, Aquathlon Challenge, and Dog Swim
The Pleasant Valley event on Saturday, September 12, 2026, combines multiple community activities around the Pleasant Valley Pool in Chantilly, Virginia. It includes road and pool-based events and an afternoon dog swim, with proceeds directed to support the Pleasant Valley Pool and its ongoing capital improvements.
The event features the following:
- 5K Run/Walk
- Aquathlon Challenge (pool swim and 5K run)
- Virtual 5K
- Dog Swim
The 5K course runs through the Pleasant Valley subdivision and into the neighboring Fairfax County trail system. The Aquathlon pairs a short pool swim in the Pleasant Valley Pool with the same 5K run course. Virtual 5K entries and youth pricing are available. Event entries include a race t-shirt, free race day photos, a digital finisher certificate, music, and on-site snacks; specific event packages list post-run or post-event recovery snacks and online result submission.
The Dog Swim is an afternoon pool session reserved for dogs and includes pictures and an optional shirt upgrade. The location is Pleasant Valley Pool, 4347 Cub Run Road, Chantilly, VA 20151. Funds raised will go directly to the Pleasant Valley Recreation Association to help maintain and improve the pool facility. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
