For a Cause

The Feed Fairfax 5K is a community-focused road race dedicated to combating childhood food insecurity in Fairfax County. Participants can join the 5K or a 1-mile fun run, both professionally timed. Beyond the race, a unique opportunity awaits: all participants and volunteers are invited to assemble "Power Packs" filled with meals for local elementary school children. This event offers a meaningful way to run, connect, and directly contribute to a vital cause, helping ensure children have enough to eat on weekends.

What to expect

A timed 5K road race or a 1-mile fun run/walk through the Greenbriar neighborhood.
Post-race, join fellow participants to assemble "Power Packs" of meals for local children.

From the organizer

Fairfax County is one of the wealthiest counties in the nation—yet thousands of children here go home on weekends unsure if they’ll have enough to eat. Rising food costs and ongoing shortages have pushed more families into crisis, and today 1 in 3 students in Fairfax County Public Schools experiences food insecurity.

The 6th Annual Feed Fairfax 5K on May 2nd, 2026 is a fun 3.1 mile road race through the Greenbriar neighborhood in Fairfax. The race is organized with community partners to raise money and provide food for kids in Fairfax County suffering from food insecurity.

What makes this race incredibly unique is that after the race, all participants and volunteers will have the opportunity to assemble Power Packs for elementary school children within our community.
