Description

The event honors one of the club's founders, Paul Thurston.

What better way to start your summer with a 5k in the Nation's Capital. This 5k will be an out and back on pavement in the picturesque Rock Creek Park. In honor of Memorial Day, we encourage you to come out in red, white, and blue.

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. 

Registration is free for members and $10 for nonmembers. Members will see their $10 discount at checkout.

This event is part of the DCRRC's Bunion Derby Series; for more information/rules, visit the race series rules page.
