Lace up your sneakers and join us for our 4th Annual 5K and Fun Walk, supporting this year’s beneficiary, Neighborhood Emergency Aid Response (NEAR).
NEAR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2022 to provide rapid emergency assistance within the Amblebrook community. When a medical emergency occurs, every second matters. While Amblebrook is served by the regional 911 system—including Adams Regional Emergency Medical Services (AREMS), the Gettysburg Fire Department, and the Pennsylvania State Police—the large coverage areas for these services can sometimes lead to longer response times. NEAR was created to help bridge that gap.
When you dial 911, NEAR is dispatched at the same time as the ambulance. As a Pennsylvania EMS-certified Quick Response Service (QRS), NEAR volunteers are often able to arrive quickly to provide critical care until professional emergency responders arrive.
NEAR works closely with AREMS and is certified through the Emergency Health Services Federation of Pennsylvania. Each response team includes highly trained volunteers skilled in basic life support, CPR/AED, and first aid, with at least one team member certified as an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), EMT, or Paramedic. These teams provide immediate, potentially life-saving interventions while awaiting ambulance crews.
In addition to emergency response, NEAR strengthens the community by offering CPR, AED, and first-aid training for Amblebrook residents.
Proceeds and donations from this year’s race support NEAR’s mission and contribute to a designated endowment that helps sustain the organization for years to come, ensuring that rapid emergency care is available when our community needs it most.
Proceeds from The Milk Run and Stroll will support CCFS's milk voucher program, along with its other supplemental nutrition efforts for the Carroll Community.
Milk vouchers redeemable at local grocery stores are distributed to our client families each week.
Carroll Food Sunday is a nondenominational, almost completely volunteer operated, non-profit organization now in its 44th year. CCFS is a major provider of supplemental nutrition in Carroll County.

A huge shoutout to Jeff and Jeremy from The Ultra Running Guys. They organized 'The Final Countdown' in NC for 4 years. I reached out to them and they have allowed us to "steal" their idea! Bringing this fun and challenging race to WV!!!!
You are invited to this unique race experience that has something for everyone. From new runners to experienced ultra runners, the start will be a cinch. But the longer you last, the more the Countdown will demand from you. And all we ask is that you demand the most of yourself, holding off your own "Final Countdown" as long as possible.
The course is a 1.33 mile loop located on the property of Amani Brewery. Their grass path is taken care of and mowed all year round. It is a smooth, fast trail, with a small hill or two. Every lap, all runners leave together and must complete the loop in the allotted time. If you finish the loop before the Countdown completes, you can take a break, grab a drink, check your social media, or whatever it is you want to do.
One thing though. Each lap will get slightly faster than the last. We will start with the first lap at 20 minutes (15:02/mile pace), and for each successive lap the countdown will be 20 seconds shorter, forcing you to go a little bit faster each lap. If you don't make it back before the Countdown reaches "0", your adventure is over. But we would love for you to hang out and root on the remaining competitors. The race ends when only one runner returns before the completion of "The Final Countdown."
To get the most out of yourself, you will need to plan to be conservative enough so that you can have fuel in the tank to turn the jets on in the end.
If you are ready for your Countdown to begin, register today.

Since 1984, the Reston Triathlon has been a staple in our community. It opens with a 1500-meter open water swim in Lake Audubon, followed by a 25-mile bike ride and a 10K run on local paths. The Olympic distance event has challenged athletes from around the country and has affectionately been called the Reston Triathlon World Championship.
During the pandemic, the previous board worked tirelessly to keep the tradition alive. Unfortunately, in 2021, they announced they could no longer financially or logically sustain the Reston Triathlon. CORE Foundation, working closely with the previous board, is thrilled to revive the event and continue the legacy. The Reston Triathlon made its comeback debut on September 10, 2023! This year's race date is September 28, 2025.
CORE Foundation is grateful for the loyal athletes and local community. They received overwhelming support while pursuing the opportunity to restore this community event.
To join our list of wonderful partners, please email [email protected].
Come out and enjoy this scenic half & 5k in the heart of Georgetown near the Nation’s Capital. Both events run on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path, however the Half Marathon begins/ends in Georgetown near the Potomac Boat Club while the 5K begins/ends at Fletcher’s Boat House.
Walkers are welcome to attend this event.

Franklin County Cyclists presents MICHAUX GRVL 2026
The Franklin County Cyclists are excited to once again host Michaux GRVL for 2026, and are offering 4 awesome routes with a fun scavenger hunt on all courses for everyone!
We are continuing to partner with 2 great local groups for this event; Friends of Michaux State Forest and Bulldog Bike Park. Proceeds from this year's event will be distributed to both groups, and each will be active participants in the event by running aid stations and providing volunteers along the route.
Our 2026 Beneficiaries:
MICHAUX GRVL 2026 is a ride and race to be taken at your own pace. We will be offering timing on each route for those interested in their personal statistics, and results will be posted on our website following the event. The fast may go fast & the slow may go slow. The routes we've got on tap take you through some wonderful scenery, so stop and take it in!
We recommend the use of gravel bikes with tires of at least 35mm for any route since some stretches of road can be chunky and there is a risk of punctures with smaller tires on the downhill sections of the courses.
There will be no day-of registrations, and all participants must complete their registrations on BikeReg prior to the close of the event registration. We are coordinating a pre-race packet pick up on Friday evening 6-8pm September 25, 2026 with Michaux Brewing Co. (11657 Buchanan Trail E, Waynesboro, PA 17268). Day-of packet pick up will be available prior to the start - we STRONGLY encourage 100 mile riders to pick their packet up the day prior.

AID STATION AND FINISH CUTOFF TIMES

All Riders must cross the timing mat at the start of the ride and completion of their chosen route in order to receive an accurate ride time The Ride Organizers will do their best to ensure that all riders who start the ride are accounted for at the end, but it is the responsibility of the rider to make sure they either cross the mat or check in at the registration table at the completion of the ride.

GPS files for each route along with cue sheets will be available through an online link. It's strongly recommended that you use a GPS bike computer and load the files as course markings may be inaccurate due to other forces of nature (and humans).
If you need to coordinate an earlier start time, please contact us - you will not be eligible for race placing but we can still give you a time.
This is a rain or shine event and no refunds will be given, so please plan accordingly when signing up by using the BikeReg insurance if you have an eligible reason for a refund.

Unfortunately, we have no rain date.
There are over 1.2 million people in the DMV region who identify as food insecure. In Fairfax County, there are over 105,000 people who are food insecure alone. With this being one of the most affluent areas in the nation, this news is shocking. Due to the lingering effects of COVID and the impact of inflation, food banks and pantries around the region are seeing the demand for services drastically increase. We need your support now more than ever.
The Food for Others Tysons 5K & Fun Run on Saturday, September 26th brings together the local community for a morning spent raising awareness around food insecurity here in NOVA. What makes this race incredibly unique is that after the race, all participants and volunteers will have the opportunity to write inspirational messages that will be shared with students participating in our Power Pack Program that provides weekend meal packs to over 3,900 students EACH week throughout the school year.
