From the Organizer
Let's celebrate the end of summer and the end of our Bunion Derby with the DC Road Runners annual Cross Country 5k and Club Picnic. This race features a fun, but challenging 3 mile race course through NAME OF PARK. After the race, we'll have our Club Picnic with food and drinks including in registration.
Not up for running? Don't worry, you can come to the picnic. Just register, so we know how much food to order.
In addition to the 5k race, we will have a kids dash as well.
Registration is free for members and $10 for nonmembers. Members will see their $10 discount at checkout. The kids dash is, of course, free of charge.
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.
This event is part of the DCRRC's Bunion Derby Series; for more information/rules, visit the race series rules page.
