Miriam’s Kitchen 5k & 10k
About the race
Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 7:45am at Fletcher’s Cove is our FIFTH annual Run 4 MK. In partnership with Bishop’s Events, we’re coming together to run in support of ending chronic homelessness in Washington, DC.
By participating in person or virtually, you’ll support Miriam’s Kitchen’s essential programs and services. The run is scheduled near Veterans Day and at the start of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (November 15-21, 2026). These dates align closely with the heart of our work and the people we serve.
Run 4 MK honors the legacy of Waldon Adams, our late friend, former guest, and community leader. Waldon was an avid runner who completed more than 80 races, including 15 marathons. He was also a passionate advocate who helped others find safe and stable housing. We will celebrate his life and impact, five years after his passing.
The race takes place at a meaningful location within the area our Outreach Team regularly serves. It’s a chance to connect with the community, meet other passionate advocates, and take action for housing justice.

City insight: Washington
Washington, D.C., officially the District of Columbia, is the capital city of the United States and its only federal district. It stands on the northeast bank of the Potomac River, across from Virginia and surrounded by Maryland to the north, east, and south. The climate is humid subtropical, with hot, humid summers and cool winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race.
