Race proceeds go to The Women’s Board of Bethesda for the purpose of enriching and improving the lives of the boys at Bethesda Academy. The 650+ acre campus of Bethesda Academy includes cattle pastures, marsh, a farm, garden, athletic fields, cottages, and tree lined paths - making it a prime location for a trail run! Join us for a 3.1 mile run through this picturesque campus, which is not usually open to the public. The course follows marsh lines, tree lines, and passes cattle, goats, chickens, and the organic garden along the way. The trail will provide unprecedented access to Bethesda’s campus and develop an appreciation for trail running! After you are finished with the run, you may stay and join us for a Pancake Breakfast! The Pancake Breakfast is free for all runners. You may purchase additional tickets for the breakfast for $5 a piece at the event. This course is family friendly, but the terrain is not suitable for strollers or pets.
Cost of registration is $35 per person up until December 29. From December 30 - January 9, the registration cost increases to $45. Day of registration price is $50. Register early to save money!
This year we will be offering a Fun Run for children 8 and under. The Fun Run will begin at 8:30 with a short run around the new track! All runners will receive a cowbell and a pancake breakfast!
