This event, Volunteer Fairfax’s largest fundraiser, supports the Center’s efforts to connect the skills and interests of volunteers and donors to the needs of local nonprofit organizations, building a better community through service. To get ready for the race, Volunteer Fairfax staff has begun training! Registration is currently open for both the 5K and Fun Run, featuring a special 5K early bird price of $25.
