Age Graded 4-Miler

This unique race has older runners starting first followed by younger ones. It uses about 20 separate start times, based on USATF age-grade tables. Winners of the race have ranged from teens to 50-somethings, both men and women. All runners receive prizes since all participants are encouraged to bring fun awards. Past prizes have included 1970s baseball cards, a Simpsons dart board, a New Guinean sheath, and cherry, apple, and blueberry pies in commemoration of the nation's birthday.
The course is a double out-and-back between the 9 and 11 mile markers on the C&O Canal Towpath, starting and finishing at Carderock Recreation Area, MD. Free for club members, $10 for nonmembers.
