This is a 3.1-mile road race on a flat, fast, wheel-measured course. The plan is straightforward: arrive early, attach your bib, and complete a quick local 5K. Awards are presented to the top three men and women in each age group, with divisions from under 10 to 70+. The fastest overall male and female runners receive trophies. The current course records are 16:56.80 for men and 17:20.65 for women. A $200 prize is offered for the first man and first woman to break the record in the new 70+ age group.

Local families, businesses, volunteers, and Companies Who CARE participate in the event. Capital Youth Outreach Club collaborates with So What Else for service support. Volunteers manage the event's logistics, such as setting up signs and booths, encouraging runners, ensuring children's safety, participating in a post-race service project, and assisting with cleanup. Formerly known as the LaunchCARES Charity Race, it originated as a small community gathering before growing into a county-wide initiative aimed at combating hunger.

Pohick Bay 5k & 10k

Pohick Bay 5k & 10k takes participants onto the trails of Pohick Bay Regional Park in Lorton, Virginia.

The course utilizes the trails at Pohick Bay Park instead of city streets, and walkers are welcome. EX2 Adventures also organizes adventure racing and triathlon events in Virginia and Maryland, aligning this race with a wider local schedule for enthusiasts of off-road and outdoor endurance events. The organizers have included Pohick Bay in their rotation again, indicating it is a regular venue.

Mt Erie Trail Runners still give trail people a Thursday 6 PM option around Heart Lake, Whistle Lake, Deception Pass, or A Avenue.
