About 100 runners and walkers hit the trail at Lake Accotink Park on Saturday, May 16, for HACA’s Factor Dash 5K and Walk. This year we partnered with Bishop Events to bring a 5K element to the annual event, and the number of participants exceeded our expectations, with more than $40,00 raise through sponsorships, race registrations, team fundraising and basket raffles.
Thank you to both the HACA members who formed a team and came out to run or walk, as well as members of the local running community that supported our first-ever 5K.
The day kicked off with the 5K at 9 a.m. The trail for the 5K was an out and back along a paved trail through a wooded area. The walk started at 9:30 and was one mile out and back along the lake.
After the run and walk, participants were treated to a breakfast buffet from Silver Diner, which proved to be a popular addition! We also had some yard games, including an inflatable basketball game, and a glitter tattoo artist.
Thank you to our event sponsors: CSL Behring, DrugCo Health, Genentech, Medexus, Novo Nordisk, NuFactor and Sanofi.
