WASHINGTON DC: VIDA Fitness to Host First Annual 5K Run/Walk Saturday November 14th

Runners take your mark! 

To encourage wintertime fitness, wellness and healthy living VIDA Fitness is hosting its first annual 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, November 14 at East Potomac Park. The local fitness club chain will donate proceeds from the event to Thrive DC – a local non-profit organization committed to preventing and ending homelessness in the DC area. 

The 5K Run/Walk is open to the public and participants can submit their event registrations at: www.vidathrive5k.com.

Nicknamed Hains Point by locals, East Potomac Park’s flat running course, which circles the Potomac River, will serve as the backdrop for the event. Known for being both dog and stroller friendly, VIDA’s 5K Run/Walk is geared toward families, kids, weekend athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. 

In addition to hosting the 5K, VIDA Fitness will sponsor a post race happy hour for participants and their families at Capitol City Brewing Company-Downtown. From 11 am to 2 pm participants and their families can celebrate with half off bloody mary’s and/or mimosas. Before and after the race, massage therapists from the VIDA affiliate company Aura Spa will be giving complimentary massages. Spectators and race participants alike are welcome to enter in drawings for these grand prizes:

• Poolside cabana rental with bottle service from the Penthouse Pool Club.
• Gift cards from Capitol City Brewing Company and Bang Salon.
• Seated massages from Aura Spa.

Parking space is limited at East Potomac Park, so VIDA encourages race participants to leave their cars at home. Convenient methods of transportation include walking, Capital Bikeshare, DC Metro, Uber or taxicab.
