Scotland Juneteenth 5K

Welcome to the MCRRC Parks Half Marathon!

The race begins just before sunrise, at 6:45 AM, on a scenic Montgomery County road and quickly transitions into a tour of beautiful Rock Creek Park. As you run through the park, you’ll experience the sun rising through the tree cover and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Mile markers help keep you on track, and we also have an excellent pace team ready to help you reach your goals.

Our thoughtfully placed hydration stations, complete with awesome volunteers, will keep you hydrated and motivated.

Everyone always loves our FREE, high-quality race photos, so be sure to wear a smile along the course because we will have photographers along the way capturing race memories.

At the finish, catch up with your friends to exchange race stories at our Finish Festival.

The City of Rockville, in partnership with the Montgomery County Road Runners Club (MCRRC), welcomes all to participate in this fall running tradition. The 10K and 5K run along the streets of the King Farm community for a scenic and challenging, yet rewarding, course. It is an ideal venue to cap off your summer/fall training and kick off the upcoming winter running season.

Participants of all abilities are welcome, but please note that a 15:00 min/mile pace will be enforced due to permitting requirements and the re-opening of roads. Participants who fall behind a 15:00 min/ mile pace will be moved to the sidewalk. Walkers are encouraged to participate in the 5K distance only due to the road closure restrictions.

Strollers are permitted - we ask that anyone pushing a stroller seed themselves in the back of the field at the start of the race they are running. Dogs and all other pets are NOT permitted on the course.
