Silk City Striders 5K Run

Come join the Silk City Striders for their 20th running of a unique 5K. This year the run will be for the benefit of the Cornerstone Foundation in Rockville. Cornerstone operates the Shelter, Teen Center, Soup Kitchen and Clothing Bank.

Registration begins at 9:30am to 10:25am at the Community Center on the corner of Prospect and School Streets in Rockville. 

The race starts at 10:30am at Prospect and School Streets.

Timing will be on the "honor system" (you time yourself), and the Silk City Striders will provide a back up time for you. Costumes and canines are appreciated.

You may donate to Cornerstone in lieu of a race fee. Donations appreciated can be in the form of cash or a check (made out to the Cornerstone Foundation). They will also accept gently used T-shirts, clothing, coats, canned goods, paper goods, gift cards and games, books and board games for the teen shelter.
