Caffe Amouri 5K Feeds Vienna Families With Social Distancing

VIENNA, VA — Are you looking for something to do while staying at home? In the age of social distancing, the Vienna Business Association and Caffe Amouri have found a way to hold a 5K and help disadvantaged Vienna families with food needs. The Caffe Amouri Feeding Families 5K is open to participants through May 31.

The process is simple: participants sign up online, complete the 5K course at their own pace, and record their start and finish time. It takes a $25 donation for one person to participate, or $50 donation for the whole family.

The course starts and ends at Caffe Amouri, 107 Church St NE, Vienna. Participants should report the time it took to complete the course and whether they walked or ran to ViennaFood5k@gmail.com.

Participants will be competing for prizes from local businesses in these categories: best time running time, best walking time, 60 and up best running time, and 60 and best walking time. There will also be raffle drawings. Over a dozen businesses or organizations have contributed prizes.

As of Saturday, $4,650 has been raised for the 5K, according to Peggy James, executive director of the Vienna Business Association. Caffe Amouri owner Michael Amouri says participants have been stopping by to say "how much fun they are having while doing something great for the community."
