Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHCI) (“Comstock”), a leading asset manager, developer, and operator of mixed-use and transit-oriented properties in the Washington, D.C. region, announced today that it has once again partnered with Dulles Greenway to host the 4th annual Run The Greenway race at Loudoun Station in Ashburn, Virginia on Saturday, May 4, 2024.
This year’s event will be the first-ever “May the Fourth Be With You” Star Wars-themed edition of the annual fundraiser. The 5K, 10K, and 800-meter Kids Fun races will start and finish on the Dulles Greenway at Loudoun Station, and there is also a virtual race option. Race participants will be able to access the event via the Ashburn Metro Station on the Silver Line, and there will be free event parking at Loudoun Station.
Last year’s race was elevated to another level thanks to our partnership with Comstock and Loudoun Station,” said Terry Hoffman, Public and Customer Relations Manager, Dulles Greenway. “Run The Greenway was more accessible to runners across the Washington, D.C. metro region, we were able to offer more activities and vendors to our participants, and most importantly, we continued to be a powerful fundraising platform for our non-profit partners to help them advance the important work they do in the community.”
The annual community race serves as a fundraising vehicle for 15 participating local non-profit organizations. In May 2023, nearly 2,000 runners participated in Run The Greenway’s third annual in-person and virtual race that raised over $268,000 for local non-profits for local non-profit organizations. The event featured remarks from Virginia State Delegate David Reid (VA-32), music from the band Special Occasions, and a post-race celebration with food trucks, face painting, and more.
We’re thrilled to welcome back Run the Greenway 2024 at Loudoun Station, especially for our first Star Wars-themed race,” said Tracy Schar, Chief Marketing Officer for Comstock. “Having experienced the great participation from our local community firsthand, supporting crucial causes like hunger relief, mental health, animal welfare, adoption, and children’s literacy through this event brings us great joy. It’s a privilege to continue this partnership.”
Every registration includes a Run The Greenway race shirt and a fundraising page where runners can raise funds for the local charity of their choice. Medals will be awarded for first, second, and third-place winners in the 5K and 10K races, and all 5K, 10K, and 800-meter Kids Fun Run participants will receive Run The Greenway finisher medals.
