Rosaryville Half Marathon, 10K, 5K Trail Run

As we celebrate the start of LGBTQIA+ Pride month, please come join community members from across the country for the 14th annual DC Front Runners' Pride 5K run/walk. The race celebrates everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community and is a welcoming space for all members and allies to join in a fun morning of sport.

The race starts and ends at the Historic Congressional Cemetery and passes through scenic Washington, D.C., along the Anacostia River trail and the fields at RFK campus.

Designed to bring awareness to missing persons of color and benefit the Black & Missing Foundation, Inc., ‘Hope Without Boundaries’ is an inspiring, family-friendly 5K Run/Walk held on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at the National Harbor in Maryland. The racecourse takes runners and walkers along the beautiful waterfront of the Potomac River and across the Woodrow Wilson bridge for stunning scenic views. We welcome runners and walkers of all abilities and ages to bring your friends and family and join us on this day to Honor Our Missing.

"We are often the last hope for many families, and that’s why we already have plans to expand the organization to serve even more people. We can’t do any of this without the support of the community and that’s why this walk is so important.”

— Founders, Natalie Wilson & Derrica Wilson

Hello Friends!

We’re Kirk and Leslie Shadrick, Benjamin’s parents, and we’re truly grateful you’re here.

Benjamin Mario Shadrick is our son, and his life is the reason we serve.

Though Ben's life on earth was brief, his story changed us. It deepened our faith, stretched our hearts, and made us see vulnerable children in a way we never had before. And in that place; through prayer, tears, and a lot of listening, we believe the Lord gave us a clear calling: to build an orphanage for Him.

We call it Casa Benjamin; a Christ-centered home in Zacatlán, Puebla, Mexico for children with special needs who are medically fragile and facing life-limiting illness. Children who need hospice-level care. Children who deserve to be held, comforted, protected, and loved consistently.

This is about helping create a home where the most vulnerable children can receive the kind of care every human being should be able to count on:

• Gentle, attentive caregivers

• Clean, safe living spaces

• Nourishment and daily support

• Meaningful engagement and therapy support

• Emotional and spiritual care

And here’s something we hold close: many of us may never meet these children face-to-face. We may never know their names or hear their stories firsthand. But what we do together, one step at a time, can still change the course of their lives. Your effort, your presence, and your generosity help make real care possible.

If you’re running, walking, volunteering, sponsoring, donating, or simply sharing this with a friend, thank you. Your presence matters more than you know.

Saturday, June 13th, 2026 @ 6:19am

Fort Stanton Park - 1820 Erie Street SE, Washington, DC 20020

Back again for the 2026 edition, the Juneteenth Half Marathon & 10K takes us along the entirety of the storied Civil War Defenses of Washington Trail (Trail Map PDF). this 'proper' trail run (i.e. dirt + elevation ;-) has two distance options:

• Half Marathon (out and back; 1,375ft elevation gain) - Strava Route Map

• 10K (one-way, northbound; 467ft elevation gain) - Strava Route Map

We raise money from our Race to fund charitable efforts right here in our area, so this really is a neighborhood event. You run, have fun and help make your community a better place!

For the 10K: It is certified, for the serious runners. We plan to have course monitors to direct you to the turns from the Parkway. If you’re not familiar with the route, it is on our website.

For the 5K: The race start will begin immediately after the 10K begins. As before, the race route is only on the Parkway, measuring about 3.3 miles.
