GENERAL EVENT INFORMATION
5K RACE & 2K FUN WALK OR ROLL
The Arc of Northern Virginia’s Corporate and Community Team Challenge brings together companies and the community to raise important funds to sustain and strengthen its vital programs, services, and advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages and their families. This year, the premier corporate challenge foot race — and the area’s only team-based race with teams of 5-7 runners — will again be held in-person at Burke Lake Park.
For those who are not runners we are very happy to welcome everyone who wants to gather for the fun of the event by walking together in-person as a team. And because the course is paved, those who use wheeled forms of mobility can participate as well!

Event Sponsorship Opportunities
Since our first Team Challenge, we have been fortunate to have the support of generous businesses, corporations, and organizations. Our Team Challenge sponsors, through their contributions to the event, help ensure that the funds raised from this signature event are maximized to support and expand programs and services to the individuals and families we serve. It’s also a great way to associate your name with a highly-respected charitable organization and at the same time demonstrate your commitment to serving our community.
