About the AIHF 5K Run/Walk for Sickle Cell
This race is organized by a foundation built around the memory of a young girl who died from Sickle Cell Disease. The course is a short out-and-back or loop through Arlington, and the field tends to draw people personally connected to the cause alongside runners who show up to support it. The pace of the crowd reflects that history.
