About the Charity Cooperative Arlington Area 5k
The course heads out along a paved trail from Bluemont Park and comes back the same way, so the start and finish are in the same spot. The surface is smooth the whole way, the route is straightforward, and the park setting keeps things away from roads and parking lots.
Packet pickup and race-day registration happen at the picnic pavilion near the footbridge and volleyball courts, inside the park. After the race, there is a bagel brunch spread at that same pavilion, with danish, fresh fruit, yogurt, and make-your-own mimosas. Several parking lots sit around the park, and street parking runs along N. Manchester Street as well.
