DC Area 6K

The Defeat DIPG Superhero Sprint & 6K is a fun, family-friendly event, with something for everyone! There is a timed 6K walk/run. For the kids, there is a 1K walk/run and Tot Sprint. There will be games and entertainment for all throughout the event at our Superhero Central. For our competitive runners, the 6K is a USATF-certified event, with top finisher recognition and prizes.

All proceeds from the race will benefit the Michael Mosier Defeat DIPG Foundation, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for research (DefeatDIPG.org). The Foundation was created in memory of Michael Mosier, a six-year-old little boy from Bethesda, Maryland.
