About
Get ready to lace up your sneakers for an inspiring run with a purpose! Join us at Fort Hunt Park, Alexandria, VA, for the inaugural You Matter Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk on Wednesday, June 19th. This event, crafted by Jamicka Edwards, an Army veteran, motivational speaker, and author, isn't just a race; it's a movement. Start your day with a scenic run or walk at 8:00 am, aiming to complete 3.1 miles within an hour, and then bask in the post-race festivities until 4:00 pm, including awards, fun activities for all ages, delectable food by Mission BBQ, and rejuvenating free massages. Remember to carpool as parking is limited, and expect to be greeted with smiles because here, every step you take and every face in the crowd reaffirms a singular, uplifting message: YOU MATTER!
