Washington, DC • August 29, 2026
Join us August 29 at 9am for our 14th annual 5K run/walk to benefit Iraqi orphans and vulnerable children! Participate in-person at beautiful Burke Lake Park in Fairfax, VA or join us virtually from ANYWHERE in the world. Come for the run/walk. Stay for the after-party with snacks, music, and other activities. Check-in starts at 8am. No race day registrations. Together, we can do more than we can alone! Organize your own 5K team or start a fundraiser for Iraqi children. Awards go to the largest 5K team and the biggest fundraiser. The run/walk is on, rain or shine unless there is dangerous weather. No refunds. The Iraqi Children Foundation (ICF) intervenes in the lives of Iraqi kids who are vulnerable to abuse, neglect, and recruitment by criminals, traffickers, and extremists. Across Iraq - from Baghdad to Mosul and Fallujah - ICF provides loving care to orphans and vulnerable children through education, legal protection, nutrition, rescue from the streets and child labor, medical and disability care, and fun!
