Registration open for Taste of Annandale 5K

Registration is open for the fifth annual Taste of Annandale 5K race on Oct. 5. In fact, nine people have already registered. Sign up here.

The race will start at 9:30 a.m. in the Kmart parking lot on John Marr Drive. The course will be virtually the same as last year. Runners will head down Columbia Park, go through the trails in Mason District Park, and return to the Kmart parking lot.

Registration for the 5K is $25 ($15 for runners 14 and younger) and will increase after Sept. 15.

There will be awards for the top three males and females overall and for the fastest runners in several age categories. The awards will be presented on the stage at the Taste of Annandale, a street festival with live entertainment, food and other vendors, pet contest, beer garden, chili cook-off, and children’s programming.
