About this Event

Cross the Potomac and discover some of the fascinating sites in Arlington, Virginia! We'll explore several of the sites included in —giving your Arlington bucket list a jump start.

On this 5 mile, easy-paced run, we’ll make our was to hidden sights like the LBJ Memorial Grove, plantation ruins tucked between two parking garages, and an art installation honoring those who were displaced at the Pentagon. We’ll run along the Mount Vernon Trail to Gravelly Point—a spot I can attest is regularly crowded with folks watching Reagan’s planes take off or land.

It’s rare that our authors run with us, so I’m especially excited to share that author Barbara Noe Kennedy will be running the route with us!

(P.S. I'd like to eliminate fees for you and me, so if you happen to mosey on over to my webpage, there's info on how to venmo and register via google forms. chelseygrassfield.com)
