THIS YEAR WE’RE SUPPORTING
Move2Learn
The 2023 RUN! GEEK! RUN! beneficiary is Move2Learn. Move2Learn is an award-winning 501(c)(3) Serving Alexandria City Public Schools. We use movement to transform learning so all students can reach their highest potential by providing simple yet revolutionary tools that inspire movement in the classroom and throughout the day to prime students’ brains for learning.
We’re the only organization in the region that offers robust programming and equipment to keep students moving before, during and after school. Our expertise in the field makes us a first stop and trusted resource for educators.
Our programs are free to all students and take place at the schools so getting to and from them is a non issue. We also make sure everyone has what they need to participate. In other words, we remove barriers to getting in movement throughout the day to ensure all students can reach their highest potential. Because we use movement to transform learning.

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!
