2025 Cloud Run & Community Festival
About the Race
The 7×24 DC Chapter will host the third annual Cloud Run on May 10, 2025, as part of its newly expanded Community Festival in Ashburn, VA! The races are designed to bring together our local community and the data center industry around healthy activities and friendly competition. Not only can you and your family enjoy a 4.99999k run/walk and 1 mile fun run around “Data Center Alley,” but you can enjoy a Community Festival to rest and recover!
About the Community Festival
In honor of International Data Center Day, the 7×24 DC Chapter is hosting a huge Community Festival, designed to introduce our industry to our neighbors in the community. Here’s what it looked like in 2024:
Registration for the races and our generous sponsors raise money for area nonprofits, including our friends at the Dulles South Soup Kitchen, as well as the 7×24 Exchange DC Chapter Scholarship Fund. The 7×24 Scholarship Fund assists students in pursuing their education goals while on track to a rewarding career in the data center industry.
