Tree of Life 5K - Race with a Cause is a running race on October 17, 2026 in Purcellville, VA, with entry fees from $25 to $45.
Tree of Life, a local nonprofit serving Loudoun, Fauquier, and Clark counties, is excited to be hosting our Third Annual 5k #racewithacause to support our Shelter Branch! The race will be hosted at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, and is a great event for the whole family to have fun and give back.
The funds raised from this race will go directly to support families in our community. The cost of living in Loudoun and surrounding areas continues to be one of the highest in the country, particularly in terms of housing. At Tree of Life, we are working to help local families make ends meet and our Shelter Branch is vital to this effort. Through it, we provide transitional housing, mentoring, and more to those in need across our service area, focusing on a “hand up” rather than a “hand out.” This year, we have six family homes and a two independent living units for individuals with special needs!
We could not host this impactful fundraiser without the support of our Title Sponsor – Unity Power Services – who are graciously donating their time and resources to making this race a success!
We would love for you to join us in this effort and come #racewithcause.
