The Alex Manfull Fund 5k
The Alex Manfull Fund 5k is scheduled for June 13, 2026 in Shirlington, Arlington, VA. The on-site course follows a scenic, paved route along the Four Mile Run Trail and is listed at the address 3630 27th St S, Arlington, VA.
The event supports The Alex Manfull Fund, created after the death of Alex Manfull from a neuroimmune disorder known as PANDAS/PANS. The fund provided funding to establish a repository at Georgetown University Medical Center that in January 2022 became the POND Brain Bank for PANDAS/PANS and other neuroimmune disorders. The fund also collaborates with advocacy groups to increase awareness and to advance education for physicians and mental health professionals about recognition and treatment of these disorders. Contributions are used to support research, education, and scientific collaborations aimed at protecting the brain health of children and young adults.
Participation options include an in-person 5K and multiple virtual options that vary by inclusion of a medal or a shirt. Registration pricing is organized in time-based periods and includes associated fees. Organizers note that Alex enjoyed running along the Potomac and that the route is intended to reflect that connection. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
