In the past few years, mindfulness has become a more prominent member of the wellness world zeitgeist. Locally, we’ve seen meditation studiosappear on the scene, with mainstream venues like Lululemon hosting classes.

Now, a “mindful triathlon” is headed to Washington. Unlike your typical triathlon, the “mindful” version swaps out the biking and swimming portions of the race for yoga and meditation. Hosted by Wanderlust, a company that seeks to help othersfind a “mindful and inspired life,”the race is one many mindfulness events that they’ve launched around the globe.

Though Wanderlust has held a mindful triathlon in DC in 2015 and 2016, this year, the company is adding other classes and activities that participants can register for. After a 5K run through RFK Stadium, a 90-minute yoga class led by Chelsey Korus, and a 30-minute meditation session led by Noah Levine, the participants will break into a number of different classes, including acroyoga, aerial yoga, essential oils, photography, hula hooping, and walking meditation.

And if beingpresent for all that wears you down, you can always refuel in a “geodesic dome” filled with local and organic food. There will also be a juice bar, because of course there will.
