The ALX Dog Walk, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, organizes an annual dog walk event to build community and raise funds that help to spread the word about the importance of plastic-free and sustainable living throughout the DC region. The walk includes 500+ adorable dogs for a beautiful 2-mile walk down historic Union St, returning along the Waterfront Walk to Oronoco Bay Park in Alexandria. The 3rd annual ALX Dog Walk will be Saturday, April 20th from 8am-11am. Special guests include Chuck Bell from NBC Storm Team4 and Mayor Justin Wilson. 

Each year, ALX Dog Walk also helps to beautify the City of Alexandria. This year, beautification support will go towards helping the Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail (FoMVT). We will be at the dog walk and have a table at the Sustainability Festival. Stop by and say hi!

One highlight is that the Toy Australian Shepherd Digger (a repeat FoMVT volunteer) is one of the 2024 ALX Dog Walk Doggie Ambassadors.
