The race will be held at the Glenn Dale Splash Park on the historic Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis (WB&A) Trail which runs along the site of the former Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad. The mostly flat trail is great for runners of all levels and a nice trail for the whole family.

The 10K race and Kids One-Mile Fun Run, is part of the Maryland Road Runner’s Club (MDRRCA), Grand Prix- Series.  For more information on the Grand-Prix series see link MD/DC Grand Prix Series – Maryland RRCA (maryland-rrca.org).
