About RUN! GEEK! RUN!

RUN! GEEK! RUN! benefits a different Alexandria-based non-profit each year. Our 18th Annual race benefits Senior Services of Alexandria.

RUN! GEEK! RUN!’s success is dependent upon its sponsors. Sponsorship provides companies and organizations with the opportunity to give back to the local community while receiving varying levels of visibility online and offline in front of the local area consumer and business community.

Meet Eugene!

Learn about the face of RUN! GEEK! RUN! – Eugene!

More than just a mascot, he was born and raised in Northern Virginia and is the epitome of a geek. After creating a programming curriculum for middle schoolers, he was asked to become the ambassador of RUN! GEEK! RUN!

Have you signed up for Team Eugene? If you are looking for a team to run with, join Team Eugene for the 2025 race! Eugene is recruiting all geeks and runners of all skill levels to run for him to support our amazing cause. Heck, the top 5 finishers for Team Eugene could lead the team to a Community Team award!

I love this race!

I love this race. I’ve PR’d every year I’ve run it and got 3d then 2d place women in the last 2 years (this year I’ll be trotting along post injury but will still be having fun!) Perfect course, surprisingly well spectated, and lovely group puts it on.

Super fun race!

Even though we showed up 20 minutes late, the race crew were very friendly and caught some great candid shots! The route was great, too!

Fun 5K for all runners!

Rain or shine, Run! Geek! Run! is always a great time! I've run RGR three times so far (2016, 2018, and 2019) and have loved it. The course is flat, pretty scenic, and has great pit stops of motivation along the way. The shirts are awesome, as well as the prizes if you run fast, and if the weather is nice you can get a picture with Eugene the mascot! Will definitely continue to run this race!

Awesome race for a newbie!

I loved this race. Beautiful course and friendly people made me feel comfortable on my first 5k! it goes through a suburban neighborhood on wide flat streets and you get cheered on as you go.
