30th Annual Chaptico Classic Race & Walk
July 14, 2015 (Leonardtown, MD) — Start the last weekend in August off with a bang and a race, jog, or stroll along scenic country roads.
The 30th annual running of the Chaptico Classic, described by Running Times as “one of the best county road races,” will take place on Saturday, August 29. Registration begins at 7 a.m. and races start at 8.
Run a 5K or 10K T.A.C. certified course to score an award — prizes will be awarded to the top male and female racers in several age categories for each event — or walk for the fun of it.
The Bushwood Mill Band will rally participants along the way. While results are being tallied enjoy healthy snacks and meet three-time Olympic competitor and bronze medalist Lynn Jennings.
Everyone will take home a commemorative t-shirt featuring a logo designed by Forrest Center graduate Haley Downs. While you’re at it, you’ll be supporting Southern Maryland charities. This year the race will benefit St. Mary’s Caring, Mary Lou Gough Food Pantry at Our Lady of the Wayside Church, Three Oaks Shelter, the Jude House, and Southern Maryland Caring Network.
Registration is $30 ($35 on race day) and $15 for high school runners.
