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.

Registration includes t-shirt, chip-timing, and post-race celebration with snacks and refreshments. Race day timing by Bishop's Events.

Check out this scenic, paved route at Barcroft Park along Four Mile Run in Arlington!

When Alex Manfull died, at 26 years old, due to a neuroimmune disorder known as PANDAS, Susan and William Manfull established a Fund in their daughter’s name with the vision that no life ever again be cut short — or interrupted — by PANDAS/PANS. The Alex Manfull Fund is proud to have provided the funding to establish a repository at Georgetown University Medical Center for brains from donors diagnosed with neuroimmune disorders which, in January 2022, became the POND Brain Bank — PANDAS/PANS and Other Neuroimmune Disorders Brain Bank. We collaborate with other advocacy groups to increase awareness and advance education for physicians and mental health professionals about how to recognize and treat these disorders. If only one of Alex’s doctors had recognized PANDAS, Alex would be here today. Originally from New Hampshire, Alex died in Washington, DC in 2018. She loved to run along the Potomac so we know this race would be very meaningful to her.
