For the fourth straight year, the Montgomery Country Road
Runners Club will team up with the Firebirds Athletic Club to
host the popular Firebirds Mile and Fun Run on Wednesday, April
19th at Gaithersburg High School.
Whether you are a beginning runner or a seasoned veteran, this
event is for you! This track race for adult and youth runners
welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and paces. At last
year's event, participants ranged from age 5 to age 86!
Multiple heats ranging from 10 plus minutes per mile to sub-5:00
will be offered. Additionally, a quarter mile fun run will start
at 6:45 p.m. for those who are unable to complete the mile
distance.
This race is FREE to MCRRC and Gaithersburg Firebirds club
members, and just $5 for non-members. Registration is race day
only and will be from 6:00-7:00 p.m. The event will be held rain
or shine.
Bring the whole family for a fun evening at the track! Many
random prizes, generously donated by Fleet Feet Gaithersburg,
will be raffled off between heats. All youth athletes (age 18 &
under) who complete the mile will be awarded finisher medals.
