The South Lakes High School PTSA Food Pantry is thrilled to announce the 7th
Annual “Do It Your Way 0.5K,” happening on September 29th from 2-4 pm at Lake Anne Plaza, or virtually all weekend long! Whether you're a serious walker or just in it for the treats, this fun-filled event has something for everyone.
Participants can look forward to a lively kickoff featuring celebrity starters including community leaders and elected officials, prizes, pre-race warm-ups, plus the famous mid-race treat station. Yes, you heard that right—we’ll have free treats to put some extra pep in your step as you cross the halfway mark!
Register online now or sign up at the event and take advantage of special pricing for students and families. We also have a limited number of VIP tickets available for front-row seats and a few extra goodies. Every participant will receive a reusable shopping bag, a race bib to show off your commitment, and a choice of SWAG that will make you the envy of the neighborhood.
But it’s not just about fun and treats. 100% of the proceeds from the “Do It Your Way 0.5K” go directly toward supporting over 500 families in the South Lakes Pyramid each week with food, toiletries, and other essentials.
It’s truly “The Most Rewarding 650 Steps You’ll Take This Year!”
This beloved community event has become one of Reston’s favorite fall traditions, and we’re aiming to make 2024 our biggest year yet. Don’t miss out on the live raffle either! Aspen Jewelry Designs is donating a custom-made piece of jewelry, and we’ll have some fun gift baskets and other great items. It’s a chance to win big while giving back.
With the support of amazing local partners we’re set to make a huge impact.
