Rock Creek 10K/5K

Race Info...

Why should I run this race?:

 

The Course:

Enjoy a technically challenging 10k or quick 5k.  Both courses start with a short .3mile stretch on asphalt followed by a single track trail the rest of the way.  The 5k is run entirely on "Novice" terrain.  The first 3.5 miles of the 10k course is run on "Novice" terrain with the next 2.5 miles being run on some pretty technical trail.  The final .2 miles is flat and fast. 

 

 2010 Recap:

The first Rock Creek Race of 2010 is in the books. On a snowy March morning 31 (of over 80 registered) runners braved over 6" of new snow, cold temps. and 30 mph winds to compete in the Rock Creek 10K and 5K. The 10K was won by Brad Bishop in a time of 53:30, with Kelly Hennes winning the woman's race in 1:08:32. Ryan Wenrich ran away with the 5K in a time of 29:22, while Breeanna Hansford took the woman's race in 47:01. 

The runners got a real treat. The trails were absolutely beautiful on a morning where it was a lot more fun to be a runner than a volunteer. Thanks to those folks who stood out in the snow and cold to care for the adventurous soles who showed up despite the weather. Thanks also to MK Thompson who hand made the awards for this year's opener...they were fantastic, and everyone who walked away with one of MK's awards now owns a piece of Rock Creek...literally, as they were made from wood found along the course.

 

 2011:

The tentative date for the 2011 ROCK CREEK 5K/10K is March 19, 2011 at 8:00am
