Carter’s Run for Dandy-Walker

Please join us for the 4th annual Carter's Run for Dandy-Walker on May 16, 2015. Carter Zimmerman is a 7-year-old resident of Ashburn who has Dandy-Walker, a congenital brain abnormality. Join his family and friends as they raise awareness of this little-known syndrome and donate all proceeds of the event to the not-for-profit Dandy-Walker Alliance, based in Kensington, MD, to fund a cure!

This unique event offers a 5K run/walk, a 10K and 1K Fun Run!  After the races, stay for the Fun Fest; it’s a great time for the whole family!  There will be a performance by The Great Zucchini as well as lots of other great stuff - face painting, glitter tattoos, balloon art, moonbounces, a raffle and much more. Feel free to run with a stroller and your family.

The first 350 registrants, ages 13 and over, will be guaranteed a reusable bag, filled with coupons and money-saving offers and a reusable water bottle.  All registrants will receive a commemorative dry-wick uni-sex race shirt (shirts tend to run a little big).  All Fun Run participants will receive a commemorative award.

The 10K will start at 9:00am and the 5K will start at 9:15am on a certified course beginning and ending at Ashburn Elementary School, located at 44062 Fincastle Drive in Ashburn, VA. Prizes will be given out to the top three male and top three female finishers of each run. Additionally, there will be prizes given to the top 3 finishers of the 5K, ages 12 and under. The race will be electronically timed, using the IPICO tag system. Results will be posted following the race.

The 1K Fun Run will begin at 10:15 am, with the same start/finish line as the 10 and 5K races. It will be an out and back on the same course as the 5k10k.
