Sign up for the Taste of Annandale 5K
Registration is now open for the annual Taste of Annandale 5K.
The 5K starts at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, before the opening of the Taste of Annandale at 10:30 a.m.
Sign up for the 5K here.
The 5K is going to be different this year. The race will start and end within Mason District Park. That means no one will be running along the road breathing in car exhaust, and we won’t have to close Columbia Pike.
The event is sponsored by RAMP Performance & Wellness, a personal training center in Annandale.
When the race ends, runners are encouraged to visit the Taste of Annandale in the Eileen Garnett Civic Space at 7200 Columbia Pike.

Runners should arrive at Mason District Park at about 9 a.m. to take part in warmups led by RAMP.
Awards will be given to the top three male and female runners, as well as to the fastest participants in various age categories.
RAMP is also offering free individual evaluations and running diagnostics to people who sign up for the 5K. Call 571-574-3382 to make an appointment.
Race packets will be available at RAMP during the evening in the days leading up to the race. Registration is $30. The price goes up after Aug. 30.
More details on the 5K course, parking, and other specifics will be announced soon.
