Celebrate Open Space with NVCT at a run/walk on the W&OD trail
NVCT on the W_OD trail
Join us and celebrate the land at a run/walk along the W&OD trail in Falls Church on Wednesday, Sept. 14. We'll be joining the Mad Fox Run Club at 6:15 p.m., at the Mad Fox Brewing Company, 444 W. Broad Street, Falls Church, then enjoying a pint of craft beer afterwards. Show your land conservation spirit by wearing your NVCT gear. Don't have NVCT gear? The first five people who tell an NVCT staff member, "I want to save nearby nature" will win an NVCT hat.
 
The Mad Fox Run Club says it's open to runners and walkers at all paces. Dogs are welcome, but they must remain on the patio after the group run. Run/Walk starts at 6:30 p.m., and the distance is up to you.
