See You Next Year!
Since 1994, the Kensington 8K Race has been a favorite DC area fall race - a fun, fast event with beauty, challenge, and excitement. Run it this year on September 20, 2025!
Known throughout the DC Area as a true community race - parents and kids cheering on each other and welcomed visitors running through Kensington and Rock Creek Park.
Eight local schools - Kensington Parkwood ES, North Bethesda MS, Silver Creek MS, and Walter Johnson HS - plus now North Chevy Chase ES, Oakland Terrace ES, Rock View ES, and Rosemary Hills ES - benefit from race net proceeds, with more than $330,000 raised since 2009!
