The annual Mother's Day 5K to Make a Kid's Day will be taking place on Sunday, May 13, 2018 at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, MD. Check-in and registration will open at 7:00 am. Opening remarks and warm ups will begin at 8:00 am, and runners will start the race at 8:30 am. The 1-Mile Fun Run will take place on the school track at 9:00 am.
This event attracts 500+ runners and walkers each year. The 5K is a USATF-certified course and the race is chip-timed. We also offer a 1-mile fun run on the school track. All participants will receive medals at the finish line and category winners will receive awards during the post-race ceremony.
This year's event will feature a Kids Zone with family-friendly activities including inflatable bouncy houses, face painters, balloon makers, and arts and crafts activities. Most importantly, each mom in attendance will receive special recognition throughout the day. The Hope for Henry 5K to Make a Kids Day is the perfect way to kick-off your families Mother's Day celebration!
