Our 19th season approaches and we’re going to kick it off with our 2nd annual 5K fun run in Anacostia Park!

Here are the rules of a fun run:                 Have fun!

This is a great opportunity to meet some fellow “Free Palestine” friends, enjoy the outdoors along the Anacostia River—almost where it meets the Potomac—and check out Iqraa (Read!, in Arabic). We’re runners who support United Palestinian Appeal’s scholarship program.

Here are some other details:

  • UPA designed this beautiful t-shirt for our annual race!

Also:

  •   Entry fee is virtually nominal: $10 to register, $20 if you want the shirt, and of course additional donations are welcome–though purely optional
  • The fun run will start at 0900. To navigate there: 1500 Anacostia Dr, Washington, DC 20020. It’s the Anacostia Park Roller Skating Pavilion (we’ll meet on the river side).
  • This info and a map is in the registration link below too.
  • The fun run—you can walk; remember the rules—will be followed by a reception featuring Jenin Pastry’s maamoul.

All are welcome!

If you give it a shot, I’m sure you’ll be glad you spent the morning with us—running or walking by the river, rain or shine.
