The Run for Big Things 5K is a community run/walk supporting Big Things Boxing Academy, a volunteer-powered nonprofit providing free after-school fitness classes and mentorship to youth in Falls Church, Virginia.
In just six years, Big Things Boxing has impacted more than 200 local youth — building not just strong athletes, but confident, resilient young leaders. The program runs entirely on volunteers and donations, and the funds raised from this 5K will help with equipment, competitions, and year-round mentorship that keeps our kids moving forward.
Running is already part of our athletes’ daily routine — now it’s your turn to lace up and join them. Every mile, every cheer, every step helps us continue doing big things for our kids and creating opportunities that last far beyond the finish line.
Join us!
Join us at beautiful Bluemont Park for a fun day on the trail. Best of all, your participation supports a meaningful cause, so you can feel great about every step you take.
