Acumen Solutions, Inc., in partnership with Capital Running Company, is pleased to announce that the Acumen Solutions Jingle All the Way 10K proceeds will support The SEED Foundation. The race will be held on Sunday, December 11, 2005 in West Potomac Park in Washington, DC.

In the same spirit as previous Jingle Bell Runs, local runners will have the opportunity to compete in five-year age groups from 19 and under to 80 and above to help raise money for charity. Acumen Solutions and Capital Running Company are excited to bring a jingle-bell themed holiday running event back to the Nation's capital.

The race course, the fast track around the tip of Hains Point, is USATF-certified. On-site registration and packet pickup will be held on Friday, December 9 and Saturday, December 10 at the Lyon Village Community House, 1920 North Highland Street, Arlington, VA. The hours are 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Friday and 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday.

All participants will receive a long-sleeved holiday t-shirt, jingle bells for their shoes, and be eligible for raffle prizes. Post-race food and entertainment will also be provided along with an awards ceremony to congratulate the winners.
