Miles For Soul

Miles For Soul 5k Run and Walk

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.

Words from Past Participants

  • What I personally took away from todays program was there’s nothing I can’t accomplish, I don’t believe I would have actually gotten out here on my own & walked 5 miles, Soul Trak gave me the confidence to know I can do ANYTHING!!!
  • Great event great experience like trying hoka shoes liked them a lot
  • This was my first Soul Track event and I had so much fun! I was pretty nervous because I came alone, but everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I’m glad I found the courage to come to the event.
  • I joined Miles for Soul thinking it would just get me moving — but it ended up reconnecting me to my city, my body, and my people. I’ve never felt so supported showing up in outdoor spaces.
  • The virtual challenge gave me something to look forward to every week. Logging miles with my team reminded me that I’m part of something bigger — even when I was walking solo.
  • Miles for Soul helped me build a new routine. I went from never walking more than a block to finishing a 5K with my coworkers. The community energy carried me the whole way
  • I brought my kids to the event and we all had a blast. It wasn’t just about running — it was about joy, health, and community. We’ll definitely be back next year
