Miles For Soul 5k Run and Walk

Soul Trak Outdoors gathers hundreds of participants, supporters, and partners for the Miles for Soul 5K Celebration — a powerful culminating event that brings our community together around movement, wellness, and joy. Held at Anacostia Park, this annual 5K run/walk is more than a race — it’s a celebration of every step taken throughout the summer and every person who moved with purpose in support of our mission.

This event serves as the closing chapter to our Miles for Soul Virtual Challenge, which runs from March through April and invites individuals and teams to log miles in any way that feels right — walking, hiking, biking, or running. By the time September arrives, the 5K becomes a space where stories, progress, and connection come full circle.

With music, food, local vendors, and meaningful awards, the 5K Celebration is a vibrant, accessible experience open to all ages and ability levels. It reflects everything Soul Trak stands for — community, equity, and expanding access to outdoor experiences that affirm and uplift.

 

We invite you to join us — whether you're crossing the finish line or cheering from the sidelines — to help celebrate what’s possible when we move together.

 

Move with purpose. Build community. Reclaim the outdoors.

Miles for Soul is Soul Trak Outdoors’ annual celebration of movement, wellness, and community power — combining a virtual summer mileage challenge with a city-wide 5K event in Washington, DC.

Rooted in Soul Trak’s mission to connect communities of color to the outdoors through leadership, wellness, and advocacy, Miles for Soul invites participants of all levels to show up for themselves, for each other, and for equitable access to green space.

Whether you’re logging solo walks, rallying a team, or showing up on race day — you’re joining a movement that affirms that the outdoors belongs to everyone.

Let’s move together — for joy, for justice, and for each other.
