Beltsville Running Festival
A portion of the race proceeds will support the Girls Gotta Run Foundation, a charitable organization for Ethiopian girls who are training to be professional runners. The race sponsor, the DC Road Runners Club, will donate $5 of every entry fee to help Ethiopian female runners to stay in school, avoid early marriage and childbirth, and gain economic self-sufficiency. Choose from among four events: 3K, 12K, 10-mile and 20-mile races. The two longer distance races start at 7:00am, followed by the 12K at 8:00am and 3K at 8:15am. Runners with certain pre-qualifying times may be eligible to receive complimentary entry. See the race website for details.
