Still smiling from the DC Race 5K

We had so much fun yesterday in Silo Square! From the littlest runners in the Kids Fun Run to our 5K runners, we filled the morning with big smiles, loud cheers, good music, high-fives, and a whole lot of fun.

We ran. We danced. We cheered each other on. We celebrated every finish line. And most importantly, we came together as a community.

Thank you to everyone who made the DC Race 5K such a fun day, our runners, families, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and all of the friends who came out to cheer!

Press play and relive the morning with us!

Until next year… keep dreaming, keep moving, and keep showing up for our community.
