About this Event
🏃 Del Ray .5K: The Shortest Race for a HUGE Cause! 🦃
We're celebrating community and running (well, walking, or maybe just sauntering) a mere .5 kilometers—all to support a massive effort to provide Thanksgiving meals for families in need.
This year, all profits from the Del Ray .5K directly benefit Mother of Light Center in Alexandria. Mother of Light is working hard to provide 500 local families with a complete, fully cooked Thanksgiving meal. Every entry ticket, race entry, and raffle ticket goes straight to this incredible cause!
Taking place outdoors in Del Ray Pizzeria's Back Parking Lot
The "Race Track" will be part of our less-than-level asphalt. This challenging terrain does require a waiver for participation.
