Summer isn’t over yet! Keep the good times rolling by running a summer morning 8K through Lake Accotink Park. Organized in honor of longtime DC Road Runners Treasurer, Steve Thompson, this race is the perfect way to start a late summer morning—and week!
In addition to overall winners (1, 2, 3) and master’s winners, we will offer awards 3-deep, male and female in 10-year age groups.
The National Capital 20 Miler is the DC area’s premier fall marathon tune-up race. Runners will have access to a flat and fast out-and-back course on the C&O Towpath with multiple water stations along the way. Runners also have the option to register for the Janet Braunstein 5 Miler, which also takes place on the Towpath.
Both events start on the Towpath by the North Parking Lot at Carderock Recreation Area.
Start the holiday season by challenging yourself to some gently rolling hills in scenic Seneca Creek State Park as you run one loop for the 5-mile race, or a second loop for twice the fun. The park deer occasionally make a cameo appearance and they don’t brake for runners! All participants need to be in the park by 7:50 AM.
The course covers paved roads over rolling hills, across a dam, and through the woods. Both the 5- and 10-mile courses start and finish in the same location.
Dashing through the snow to an 8k race today… (you fill in the rest!)
Join us at the Rockville Senior Center for the Jingle Bell Jog. The course winds through a quiet residential neighborhood typically decorated for the holidays. Costumes are encouraged!
The theme for this race is School Spirit! So come dressed and ready to run in your favorite school’s team apparel!
