5K Run Info and Registration
Timed 5K Run
The timed 5K Run has become quite popular since we added it a few years ago. The single, flat loop course traverses residential streets, sidewalks, and hard-packed trails, starting and ending at the fairgrounds. The route will be different than that used for the 5K Walk. All runners will be issued a Radio Frequency Identification (RFI) chip that attaches to their shoe which will used to be accurately record run times. (Please be sure to look for the red bucket after the race to return your chip.) Athletic Equation will provide the timing equipment for the 5K Run. They will post all times on their website later in the day or the next day. Prince William County police officers will provide safety for the runners, as the course will cross roadways.
The 5K Run will start at 8 am. On-site registration and check-in for pre-registered runners will begin at 6:30 am.
Trophies will be presented to the overall 1st placed male runner and overall 1st place female runner. Also, the 1st and 2nd place runners in the following categories will receive trophies:
- girls ages 10 and under, boys ages 10 and under
- girls ages 11 – 14, boys ages 11 – 14,
- girls ages 15-19, boys ages 15-19,

Fundraising
Please consider fundraising for this great cause. You can establish your own Fundraising page or you can choose a page to support on the DONATE/Register tab. Once you Donate/Register through that page, you can send the link to your social contacts through Facebook, Twitter or email. All donations go toward ASNV's Intervention Assistance Fund that awards quarterly mini-grants to families to provide reimbursement for therapies and treatments that are not covered by the state or by insurance. These therapies often help individuals with autism reach their highest potential towards living as independently as possible in adulthood.
It is easy to establish a Fundraising page.
- Click on "CREATE a Fundraising Page" tab on the home page. You will be directed to email a Page Name, Photo, Goal and a few sentences about why you want to raise money for this cause.
- Once you send the email, your page will be created within 24 hours and you will receive a confirmation email with a link to your new Fundraising page.
- AT THAT TIME go to your page and register for the Walk by clicking on the DONATE/Register tab on YOUR page (or the page of the team you have chosen to support). Then your registration fee and any additional donation will go towards the goal of that Fundraising page.
- Next you can send your Fundraising page out to all your friends, family, relatives and colleagues via Facebook, Twitter or email to spread the word and help meet your goal. The more money we raise the more families we can help! Thank you in advance for your generosity.
