Capital Running Company (CRC) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with consulting firm Acumen Solutions, Inc., to bring a holiday-themed 10K race to Washington, DC. The race, to be held on Sunday, December 11, 2005 in West Potomac Park, will be known as the Acumen Solutions Jingle All the Way 10K. In the same spirit as previous Jingle Bell Runs, local runners will have the opportunity to participate in a large running event in celebration of the season. CRC and Acumen Solutions are excited to bring this event back to the Nation's capital.

Plans are underway to make it a truly first-class event. Prizes will be awarded ten deep overall and three deep in five-year age groups from 19 and under to 80 and above. All participants will receive a long-sleeve t-shirt and jingle bells for their shoes, and be eligible for random prizes. Post-race food and entertainment are also planned.

Watch the Washington Running Report magazine and Web site, www.runwashington.com, for a link to the official race Web site and further details about the event. On-line registration will be available by early summer.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Please contact Rick Freedman, President of Capital Running Company, at (301) 871-0005 or via e-mail for more information.
