Letter from the Mayor

Dear Washingtonians, 

If you’ve ever joined us for a New Year’s Day Fresh Start 5K, you understand why the event is so popular — it’s not only a celebration of the new year, but a celebration of DC. It is an opportunity to kick off the year with energy, music, and community. 

Now, we invite you to register for the 11th annual Fresh Start 5K. Whether you run, walk, or cheer on friends and family members from the sidelines, there will be something for everyone, including the return of the Kids Dash. 

Register at fitdcfreshstart5k2025.splashthat.com [ [link removed] ].

If you register ahead of January 1, you can pick up your Fresh Start 5K swag in advance – a T-shirt, runner's bib, and a medal. Avoid the lines and pick up your race day essentials from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 26 and Friday, December 27.

Join us to set your goals in motion in Anacostia Park, one of DC's most beautiful outdoor spaces. Let's step into 2025 stronger and more inspired than ever.

See you at the starting line!

Sincerely,

Muriel Bowsersdfasdf
