Rectify: The Race 5K/10K

RECTIFY: THE RACE 5K/10K Cancer Run/Walk is a celebration of LIFE AFTER CANCER for ALL CANCER survivors! During this life-changing battle, patients can often get overly consumed combating medicinal side effects, managing treatments and recuperating from surgeries, that it can be hard to remember how to survive once its all over. Participating in this race reminds individuals that there is life-after the limitations of cancer. So come out and put some SOLE into this race! We ALL know someone who has been affected by cancer. Did you know that your registration helps to feed patients and their families during chemotherapy, radiation and supportive surgeries. RECTIFY: THE RACE 5K/10K Cancer Run/Walk gives you a chance to support the FREE patient programs for cancer survivors and their families.

The race starts and finishes at the beautifully scenic Bladensbury Waterfront Park with a mostly-flat trip along the Anacostia Tributary Trails, that winds through the stream valley, accentuating the natural environment. The continuous greenway traverses a variety of natural environments from woodlands to open fields, including many wetlands. But not to worry, the ENTIRE COURSE IS PAVED!

FINISHER’S MEDALS (we all love the BLING!) Each year we distribute a custom medal to all RECTIFY: THE RACE finishers! We want everyone to know how important their fitness journey is – whether it is his/her 1st race or 100th race – we are proud of you! In addition to recognizing the importance of the race and what it means to our cancer survivors!
