Hebrew Home of Greater Washington and Jewish Foundation for Group Homes Announce Exciting Changes for Third Annual Home Run

The Hebrew Home of Greater Washington and Jewish Foundation for Group Homes are pleased to announce the third annual Home Run race will be Sunday morning, September 30. The race benefits the elderly residents of the Hebrew Home and also benefits adults with developmental disabilities and chronic mental illness who are residents of the Jewish Foundation for Group Homes.

Exciting changes await race participants this year. For the first time, the popular course will end at Federal Plaza on East Jefferson Street where the post-race party will feature more food and beverages, awards, and a wider variety of children's activities. This year's race will have a new fun run route and Under Armour T-shirts for all race participants. Bigger cash prizes are being awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place male and female finishers and 1st place male and female masters finishers in the 10K.

Home Runners can choose between a 10K race or walk, 5K race or walk, or a fun run. The 10K out-and-back course travels through residential areas of Rockville and is USATF certified. The 5K course follows the same route. The fun run is open to runners of all ages and abilities and all fun run participants will receive a finisher's medal.

Race day registration begins at 7:00 a.m. at the Hebrew Home. The 10K starts at 8:30 a.m., the 5K at 8:45 a.m., and the fun run at 8:55 a.m. Jog strollers are welcome to participate in the fun run. An after-race celebration includes food, beverages, entertainment, prizes, and an awards ceremony.
