Fun Fall 5K Races in Washington (Photos)

From muddy obstacle runs to races that end with a karaoke fest, this fall there’s a 5K for everyone.

Big fall races like the Marine Corps Marathon and Army Ten-Miler have long been sold out, but there are plenty of other local runs we’re excited about. We’re especially hyped up for the ones that offer a twist, from a race at Dulles airport to the area’s first-ever Ruckus DC obstacle race.
