Virtual 5K participants can run/walk/bike their 5K route any time. Be sure to share on social media with #MoreThanAWalk!

Participants can expect to start at CarMax Park and take off to nearby neighborhoods for a 3.1 mile walk/run before making their way back to receive their medal. Water stops and spirit stations are at each mile marker.

3.1 miles too far?  For the first time this year, participate in the "Fun Loop" option and walk the concourse of CarMax Park instead!  3 laps = 1 mile.  Walk as much or as little as you like!

The ASK 5K & Fun Walk course is great for setting a PR (personal record) for fastest time or for having the most fun! Runners, walkers, and strollers are welcomed.
