Join us for our first QuaranTeens Run DC Virtual 5K! Join us in running or walking 3.1 miles at any location and time of your choosing between July 18 and July 26. Because we had to cancel our 5th Annual Mentoring Matters 5K this May, we wanted to offer a celebration of the power of mentoring and community (while adhering to social distancing guidelines)! This event is open to everyone.

Run for fun. Run for health. Run to honor someone who has played an important mentoring role in your life.

Registration for this event is free. All registrants will be emailed a code to use on Shake Shack's app for a free beverage on or after July 16. 

With the challenges presented from the COVID-19 health crisis on our financial future, such as the cancellation of our MM5K and the loss of program funding, Teens Run DC, now more than ever, needs your support to help sustain our long distance running, group mentoring, and social emotional learning program benefitting DC youth through either virtual or in-person programming this coming school year.

To assist in making the 2020 QuaranTeens Run DC Virtual 5K a success, Carahsoft Technology Corporation has pledged to match up to a total of $10,000 in funds raised for the event.  Click here to donate. Donate $35 or more, and you will receive a special Teens Run DC QuaranTeensRun DC Virtual 5K t-shirt. More details to follow

TRDC will not collect time results, but we would love to see your pictures from your 5K! To be entered to win the following awards, you must email your picture and name to alee@teensrundc.org or post your photo(s) on Instagram and/or Facebook by tagging @TeensRunDC and using the hashtag #quaranteensrundc5K.
