“The 5K Corporate Challenge is a fun way to bring out those living in the Tysons area and the business community for a morning promoting good health while bringing awareness to the TAPS program,” said Chamber President Lisa Huffman in a statement.

“We are encouraging runners to to fundraise for TAPS individually or by forming teams. Every runner will receive a SWAG bag with items from Tysons businesses and a raffle ticket to our raffle drawing. With everyone’s support, we know this will become a signature event in the Tysons community.”
