Description

Enjoy spring at the U.S. National Arboretum during FONA's Flowering 5K. This run or walk will take you past garden collections brightly colored with spring flowers, over tree-lined rolling hills, and along streams winding their way to the Anacostia River. Enjoy cherry blossoms, magnolias, and so much more!

This race is not only scenic, but also safe and secure. All roads are closed to cars during this race so you can safely enjoy running or walking through this 451-acre urban green space. Strollers and dogs are welcome, but dogs must stay on a 6' non-retractable leash.

We will have a professional race announcer calling out runners as they cross the finish line and there will be music before and after the event to get you in the groove. A professional photographer will take photos along the course. These photos will be shared with all participants for free about a week after the race! Thank you to Abbott Klar Real Estate Group and Guidehouse for sponsoring this race.

This event is sold out.  Sorry but there is no wait list and we can't accept race-day registrations.  Please come back for our Fall 5K which will be on Sunday, November 10th.
