Our 5K event will be held on May 27, 2019, from 6:30 to 9 a.m. at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico and is open to runners and walkers alike.
Race entry is $35 and includes a commemorative T-shirt and light refreshments. Proceeds from our event will fund one scholarship seat at the Naval Academy STEM Camp and sponsor one high school student aspiring to become a midshipman to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar.
There’s also a virtual Option Available for those who can’t join us in person.
