Registration Opens for 16th Annual Kentlands/Lakelands 5K Run, Walk and Kids Fun Runs
Event set for Saturday, September 5, 2009
The
Kentlands Community Foundation, in partnership with the City
of Gaithersburg, announces on-line registration beginning
July 1, 2009 for the 16th annual 5K Race, set for
Saturday, September 5. This USATF Certified 5K course winds
through the award-winning and scenic New Urbanism
neighborhoods of the Kentlands and Lakelands, featuring two
water stops and live entertainment along the course. Not
only is it the area’s largest 5K Race event, but the Race
allows its charitable host, the Kentlands Community
Foundation, to make a significant impact on the lives of
local residents in need through its annual donation to local
charities. As a nonprofit and philanthropic community-based
organization, the Foundation has given nearly $100,000 back
to the community since 1994. The 5K Race also serves as the
opening event for Maryland’s annual Senior Olympics.
RACE REGISTRATION: Register on-line at
www.kentlands.org for the 5K Run, Walk, Kids Fun Runs
