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.
This event is for kids 17 years and under and part of the MCRRC Youth Series. In the interest of promoting youth fitness, these races are free to anyone age 17 and under, but participants must be registered by a parent!
