Work off those extra holiday calories at one of our most popular club races, the Turkey Burnoff 5 and 10 Mile race at Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg. The course is scenic (double loop for 10 miles) and you’ll burn off that third helping of pumpkin pie on the gently rolling hills. The park deer occasionally make a cameo appearance and they don’t brake for runners! All runners need to be in the park by 7:50 AM.

The course has rolling hills while running across a dam and through the woods on paved roads. In addition to the 5- and 10-mile races, there is a free kids’ race.


Three distances – 8K, 2M, and 1K – all starting and finishing at Kensington Town Hall.

The 8K runs through historic Kensington, going past Warner Mansion, along Antique Row, beside 120+ year-old houses and around Noyes Library, the oldest library in MoCo. Then it heads down Kensington Parkway to an out-and-back along beautiful Beach Drive before returning to the Town for a fast finish.
