Purcellville Charity Walk/Run

The 5K and 10K Competitive Runs are the highlight for fitness enthusiasts and competitive athletes who enjoy a timed, organized event. Runners start at the heart of Purcellville and make their way along scenic streets and rolling trails, cheered on by enthusiastic volunteers and locals. The routes are carefully mapped with hydration stations, distance markers, and safety personnel throughout. Participants receive official race bibs and electronic timing chips for accurate tracking and race-day stats. Post-race results are published online and often contribute to runners’ seasonal records. The event attracts a diverse range of runners—from local school athletes to serious distance runners training for marathons. Awards are presented to top performers across multiple age brackets. The community spirit and positive energy make this more than just a race—it’s an opportunity to compete for a good cause. Runners also receive commemorative t-shirts and medals as part of their entry. Whether you aim to set a personal best or simply finish strong, the race is both rewarding and fun.

The Family Fun Walk is a relaxed and joyful event that welcomes everyone, regardless of age or ability. Designed to include young children, seniors, and even pets, the walk follows a safe and accessible route around downtown Purcellville. Along the way, participants enjoy cheerful music stations, bubble zones, and encouraging volunteers who add excitement to the journey. Many families walk together in matching outfits, bringing strollers, wagons, and leashed pets for a true community experience. It’s a great way to introduce kids to charitable giving and healthy living at the same time. The walk is non-timed and pressure-free, allowing attendees to move at their own pace. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes or themed attire, making the event even more visually festive. Snacks and water are provided at various stops, with photo booths and family games at the start and finish lines. Proceeds from registrations go toward local charities, so every step truly makes a difference. It’s a heartwarming experience that blends fun, movement, and generosity.

Fundraising Teams & Donations play a vital role in the success of the Purcellville Charity Walk/Run, allowing participants to go beyond the race and make a lasting impact. Individuals and groups can create custom fundraising pages online, share their stories, and set goals to support local charities. Schools, businesses, and families often form themed teams to compete in fundraising while participating in the walk or run. Participants can reach out to friends, coworkers, and social networks to raise awareness and collect donations before race day. Corporate sponsorships and matching gift opportunities amplify the donations received, increasing the total amount directed to nonprofits. The event provides fundraising toolkits, social media graphics, and sample emails to make outreach easy and effective. Friendly competition is encouraged, with prizes awarded to top fundraising individuals and teams. Every dollar raised goes to causes like food security, education, and healthcare access in the region. It’s a way for even non-runners to participate meaningfully and engage their communities. This added layer of purpose turns an active event into a powerful movement for good.
