From the Organizer
The Run4DC 5K helps to offset cost for Simmons Elementary 5th graders to attend a week long trip to Washington, D.C. Join us in a run, walk jog, or a combination to help support this great cause. This is a family friendly event that allows dogs and strollers to participate on the course! In order to be guaranteed a race shirt, you will need to be registered by September 9th. We also have long sleeved shirts avaible this year for an additional $9.00 fee.
