Head out to Burke Lake Park on April 30, 2022 and join the Fairfax County Park Authority for the Healthy Strides 5k/10k 10-year Runniversary! Enjoy a scenic run around the beautiful grounds of Burke Lake Park.
The 10k runs along a wooded path, taking runners around the lake. The 5k follows a tree-lined road through the park and is wheelchair accessible and stroller friendly. Both courses are USATF certified.
A portion of the proceeds from the Healthy Strides Virtual 5k/10k will go to the Fairfax County Park Foundation in support of local trail building and care for Burke Lake Park. For more information and to donate to parks, please visit the Park Foundation website.
