5K Course


The Race To Make It All Better 5K course begins and ends in the Reston Town Center near the Family Health Fair booths.  Then the course winds down to and along a portion of the W&OD Trail before returning along the route and back to the Town Center.

The historic Washington & Old Dominion Railroad offers a right-of-way legacy for the public to enjoy the out of doors by walking, running, biking and more.  The full trail stretches scenically 45 miles from Washington, D.C. to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Park benches and picnic tables are strategically placed to offer respite to those enjoying the 5K Run/Walk. The W&OD Trail is protected and improved by the Friends of the Washington and Old Dominion Trail, a citizen-driven organization established in 1991.
