Local fitness and wellness businesses contributed by hosting booths with interactive activities designed to provide accessible health resources for attendees. Organizers said the event was intended to foster meaningful connections between George Mason University and its surrounding community.
Clarendon FitFest was organized through collaboration among George Mason University, Clarendon Alliance, and Pacers Running.
