The Pause at Pele 5K Experience
About this Event
Run. Reflect. Reset.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, join Pele Counseling & Consulting Corp. for an interactive 3.1-mile journey along the Anacostia Stream Trail to get you moving, make you smile, and invite you to leave a little stress behind.
Walk it. Run it. Bring your crew. Just come ready to experience the 5K differently. All fitness levels are welcome.
More Than a 5K- Can You Outrun Burnout?
Along the course, you'll encounter playful characters representing the things many of us know all too well: stress, exhaustion, overload, and the never-ending demands of everyday life.
You'll move through atmospheric fog, interactive moments, reflection prompts, and a course designed around three simple ideas:
RUN — Move your body and get started.
REFLECT — What are you carrying that you no longer need to carry?
RESET — What do you want to move toward?
And when you make it through? We're celebrating with bubbles.
No pressure to be the fastest. No need to be an experienced runner. Run, walk, laugh, reflect, and enjoy the experience at your own pace.
Your Miles Make a Difference
Proceeds from the 5K will help Pele create accessible opportunities for mothers to pause, restore, and reconnect with themselves through restorative wellness experiences, community resources, screenings, and referrals.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 to expand this work and reach more mothers in our community.
