Run for the Arts 5k Run & Walk

Run for the Arts 5k Run & Walk is a glow-themed night race in Washington, DC, held at 355 Water Street SE. The event offers two 5k options: Run Only and Walk Only, both part of a glowing course designed to light up the night as participants move through DC during Art All Night. Attendees enjoy live performances and DJs, with glow wear provided to runners and finishers receiving medals.

Proceeds go to local professional artists as micro-grants, supporting the local creative community through a rapid application and distribution process. The race blends fitness, art, and community fundraising across the district. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
