THE FNR 10K

About the Event

Join us on Saturday, August 29, 2026, for the FNR DC 10K, a special edition of the Freedom Now Run Series commemorating the legacy of the 1963 March on Washington and the enduring pursuit of freedom, justice, and opportunity for all.

Hosted by Philly Track Jawn, the FNR DC 10K extends the vision of our Philadelphia flagship event by bringing participants to the nation’s capital, where hundreds of thousands gathered on the National Mall to advocate for civil rights and where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic “I Have a Dream” speech.

More than a race, the FNR DC 10K is a movement experience that invites runners, walkers, families, and community members to reflect on the progress we’ve made while continuing to move forward together. Through fitness, fellowship, and civic engagement, we honor the spirit of those who marched before us and celebrate the power of community action today.

Participants can choose from three distances:

The FNR DC 10K – Our signature race experience through the nation’s capital
The DC 5K – Perfect for runners and walkers looking for a shorter challenge
The PTJ 2K – An accessible option for youth, families, and first-time participants

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, completing your first race, or joining us to honor a pivotal moment in American history, the FNR DC 10K offers an opportunity to move with purpose and be part of something larger than yourself.

Freedom Now. Freedom Always.
