The Olympics will soon over, but your chance at running fame doesn’t have to end with London. The 27th Annual Chaptico Classic, the region’s longest-lived running event, will take place on Saturday, August 25. The starting gun for the 10K or 5K T.A.C. certified courses will sound at 8 a.m. Those living life at a slower pace can join the fun by meandering along a scenic, three-mile walk.

Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female runners as well as the top racers in several age categories for each event. Healthy snacks, T-shirts, and other goodies to take home will be available to all participants.

Whether you’re running to immortality or walking for wellness, pre-register by visiting www.active.com, contacting 301-475-2886 or [email protected], or signing up beginning at 7:00 a.m. on the day of the race. Your $30 donation ($35 on race day) will benefit Three Oaks Shelter, St. Mary’s Caring Soup Kitchen; Southern Maryland Community Network, and the Mary Lou Gough Food Pantry. These non-profit agencies have a long tradition of responsiveness to community needs.

Registration and race start will be at Christ Episcopal Church Parish Hall, located at 37497 Zach Fowler Road, 1/4 mile south of the intersection of Routes 234/238 (Maddox Road) in Chaptico.
