AVFRD Harvest Blaze 5K Run 2026

Description

Join the Ashburn Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department (AVFRD) on Saturday, September 26 , for the 7th Annual Harvest Blaze 5K and Kids' Spark Sprint (ages 4–10)!

Bring the whole family for a morning of fun, fitness, and community support. Both races will start and finish at Route 7 Brewing (20051 Riverside Commons Plaza #148, Ashburn, VA 20147) , followed by a post-race celebration featuring food, drinks, live music, and more.

The Kids' Spark Sprint begins at 9:00 a.m., with the Harvest Blaze 5K starting shortly afterward. For more than 80 years, AVFRD has proudly served the community. The generous support of local residents, businesses, and civic organizations helps make that service possible. All race proceeds and donations directly benefit AVFRD's Ray Muth Scholarship Fund, which provides higher education scholarships for department members and their children.
