What

The Race for Cooperative Development is a fun, family-friendly event that has long been a staple in the DC community. The course is a 5 kilometer loop around the beautiful East Potomac Park. Past raffle and award prizes have included skybox tickets to a Redskins game; tickets to see the Nationals, Wizards, and Capitals; $100 gift certificates to restaurants such as Morton’s, and the Fourth Estate at the National Press Club; weekend stays at a variety of upscale DC hotels; and more! Participants also get to enjoy our “Feast at the Finish Line,” with food and drink from nearby cooperatives such as Land-O-Lakes, Marvamaid, Sunkist, Blue Diamond Growers, and Greenbelt Food.

This year the event will be co-sponsored by the National Capital Area Boy Scouts of America! This is a great chance to be a part of two great organizations coming together to support the community. If you wish to join on behalf of the Boy Scouts ,please visit their website at http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/funrun
