Run For Big Things 5K
The Run For Big Things 5K is a community run and walk on Sunday, May 17, 2026 at Bluemont Park, 329 N Manchester St., Arlington, VA 22203. The event supports Big Things Boxing Academy, a volunteer powered nonprofit that provides free after school fitness classes and mentorship to youth in Falls Church, Virginia. In six years the program has worked with more than 200 local youth. Funds raised will support equipment, competitions, and year round mentorship.
Entry costs are $35 until April 30 and $40 after April 30. All participants receive a commemorative race shirt if they register by April 30. The race is timed in partnership with Bishops Events. A post race celebration will offer snacks and refreshments at the finish area. Awards will be given to top overall finishers and to first through third place in these age groups: Juniors 12 and under, Teens 13 to 17, Adults 18 to 54, and Masters 55 and older. The course is open to runners, walkers, people using strollers, and is dog friendly. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
