DC Area 1mi

The 27th Annual Van Metre 5-Mile Run and One-Mile Fun Run/Walk benefits Children’s National Medical Center. Serious runners, weekend and occasional joggers, walkers, and even strollers (for One-Mile Fun Run/Walk only) of all skill levels are invited to participate.

The Walk to End Epilepsy – DC fundraising event is held in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall near the Smithsonian National Mall metro station. It is an inspirational, healthy and fun community celebration of music and entertainment with friends, family, corporations and organizations celebrating their fundraising success and support for the epilepsy community. Funds raised are for much needed research, programs, services, advocacy and education about epilepsy. People from nearly 50 states across North America converge on the National Mall each Spring as they take steps to end epilepsy. Join us for our 5K Walk and Family Fun Mile event and celebration on April 27, 2019.

*We are not permitted to register/collect money on the mall.  It’s a National Park Service policy.  Please register online.
