The 3rd Annual Born to Run Memorial 5K is in tribute to the enduring spirit of Jannine Parisi who lost her life on November 20, 2013 as a victim of domestic violence. Mrs. Parisi was a well-respected member of the Chantilly community as a parent, teacher, and friend.
The Born to Run Memorial 5K is a flat course race through the Chantilly Highlands neighborhood with both start and finish lines at Franklin Middle School.
All proceeds will directly benefit Franklin's school beautification and improvement initiatives. Additionally, opportunities to donate to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Northern VA are available through online registration and on race day.
