From the Organizer
Join us for the 2nd year of the VEGA Mason 5K Run, a community event dedicated to supporting the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF) in its mission to end Neurofibromatosis (NF). Hosted at the VEGA Americas Mason Campus, this event is more than just a race. It’s an opportunity for the local community to join forces with VEGA employees, families, and friends for a meaningful cause. All race proceeds will be donated directly to the Children's Tumor Foundation, helping fund critical research and support programs for those affected by NF. Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or simply looking to support the cause, everyone is welcome. Let’s stand together and unite in the fight to end NF. Together, we can make a difference, raise awareness, and move one step closer to a cure.
Your $35 registration fee includes a chip-timed race, event t-shirt, and finisher medal. You'll also receive a participant bag filled with event goodies, plus a meal and drink ticket redeemable at the post-race celebration featuring food, beverages, and live music.
