For Capital Running Company and the Washington Running Report

This new race takes runners through the newest commercial development in Germantown, MD. The course has beautiful rolling hills and is sure to offer runners a smooth and exciting run. The race location is convenient to both
I-270 and Route 355 (Frederick Road) and near Germantown's biggest shopping center, Milestone Center.

Update! Goldenrod Lane is now called Seneca Meadows Parkway. Please make note of this change!
