 When You Remember You Hate Running

The run/walk is an out-and-back, starting and ending close to the Aqueduct bridge. Afterward, enjoy a post-race party and awards from 7:30 - 9:30 pm, hosted by Gypsy Sally's (3401 K Street NW)--including a free beer for every participant. Get your team together and register today. The race benefits The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
