Shelane's Run 5K & Family Day

Shelane's Run 5K, 1K, & Family Day is a Fairfax, Virginia charity run held at the Fairfax County Government Center. It offers a 5K Run/Walk/Stroll and a 1K Fun Run (open to ages 12 and under), with in-person or virtual participation. The event honors Shelane Gaydos and benefits Shelane's Fund, which assists perinatal families dealing with postpartum depression and other mood disorders.
