The 19th annual Wildcat 5K and Family Fun Run, sponsored by the Saint Luke School, is a great race to start the fall running season in Northern Virginia. Race start and finish equipment and services are professionally provided by Arsenal Events. The 5K course is shady and scenic, going through gently rolling hills in McLean. It is a USATF-sanctioned race. The quarter-mile Family Fun Run takes runners around Saint Luke Church and Saint Luke School. Super cool T-shirt, and fabulous post-race festivities are included. You can sprint, run, walk, or just join us for some family fun! The post-race party features refreshments, food, music, moon bounces, rides, and a variety of games.
