Registration
Register: You will need your club coupon code to successfully complete the registration process
There is no walk-up registration. There is no race day registration. Once registration closes online [15 Feb 23:59], that’s it. This cutoff is required in order to allow each club to perform a final review and validation of their runner’s roster, and provide time for reach-out ahead of the scoring team preparing systems and bibs for race morning PPU.
Registration Fee: $40 (Please note that many clubs partially subsidize their runners for this event. Race is limited to first 1000 runners and routinely sells out prior to race day. )
All registrants must be a member of an RRCA running club from Maryland or Washington, D.C.
To register and run this event, the following three criteria must be met:
- Valid and active membership in a MD or DC RRCA club at the time of registration
- Valid and active membership in a MD or DC RRCA club on race morning
- Be able to complete the 10 miles within the stated 2h10m cutoff time
