Run the Greenway
Dulles Greenway supports Run the Greenway, an event held in May each year that raises funds for local non-profit organisations. Offering a five and 10-kilometre run, an 800-metre Kids’ Run, a virtual race and a wheelchair option, Roll 5K, along the Greenway, the event allows participants to experience the motorway from a unique perspective while supporting the community.
Over the five years to 2025, the event raised a total of more than US$1.1 million for local charities.
Dulles Greenway launched a new ‘Healthy Kids’ Initiative with Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) to encourage students to participate in the Run the Greenway event in 2025. To incentivise participation, the six LCPS schools with the highest student involvement were awarded Physical Education grants to support physical education programs, helping to keep kids active long after race day.
