Get involved: Run for the Children

The fourth annual Fairfax CASA Run for the Children 8K Race & 3K Run/Walk is only 123 days away! The race will be held in historic Fairfax City, on May 3, 2014 with an 8:00 am start time. The USATF certified course, ample free parking, great prizes, food, raffles, and entertainment make this a must run event!

“I run because abused and neglected children are innocent victims who need someone to stand beside them in the unfamiliar world of child protection. “ -- Melissa a real estate consultant with Keller Williams Realty Fairfax said at the 2013 Race.
