Run! Geek! Run! 8K

This location is shown only to members

Run! Geek! Run! 8K starts and finishes in West Potomac Park in Washington DC. This is a flat, fast course and is a ChronoTrack-timed event supported by Capital Running Company. Awards will be given to runners in five-year age groups and there is also a corporate team challenge. Following the race there will be an awards ceremony with music, food, & drinks.

The race raises money for Equal Footing Foundation, founded to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of children and adults in Northern Virginia. Together with their corporate sponsors, the local government and business partners, the foundation helps fund, launch and sustain Computer Clubhouses that currently serve over 1,500 youth in six locations. Through these clubhouses and other technology-related programs, they are able to help facilitate corporate efforts to give back to the community.

PLUS, our group is doing this race as a costume race. If you happen to see Bacon, eggs, and utensils running down the street and think that faces look familiar, you may be on to something. So, get into the Halloween spirit and join in a costume of your own, or come dressed up as a runner and get a good laugh out of the others.
