The CREW 5K

The CREW 5K is held on April 10, 2027 in Woodbridge, Virginia. The event offers a single format, a 5K (3.1 miles), starting at 9:00 a.m., with registration through RunSignup.

Northern Virginia in April is squarely in spring racing season, and a 5K at this point in the calendar suits two kinds of runner: the one testing fitness before a summer of longer racing, and the one using a short, well-organized event as a reason to get back into a routine. The distance is short enough that you do not need a long build — a few weeks of consistent easy running plus one weekly workout at threshold or 5K effort will have you ready. A 9:00 a.m. start is late enough to eat something small beforehand and still leave time for a proper twelve-to-fifteen-minute warm-up jog with a few strides.
