The event will be held in person on Mother's Day at Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, starting at Picnic Area #24 in the Carter Barron parking lot, near the entrance to the Tennis Center. IF social distancing rules are in place on the day of the event, there would be a rolling start between 8 am and 8:15 am for the 5K. The winners would be determined by Chip time rather than Gun time.
BE AWARE THAT THE EVENT MAY CHANGE TO ALL-VIRTUAL IF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE IMPOSES RESTRICTIONS THAT PRECLUDE HOLDING THE RACE IN PERSON.
