Run for Roses, our women's-only 5K, is right around the corner on Saturday June 20th at Wheaton Regional Park. Still time to sign up with your friends and family, or have the men in your life sign-up to volunteer! https://www.mcrrcrunforroses.org/

Also, as a part of this race, we are holding a bra donation drive to benefit I Support the Girls, a non-profit organization whose goal is to ensure that women and girls in need are never without essential items like bras and menstrual products. We all have those bras that we just don't care for, that we brought home and just never fit us quite right and so forth. So bring your new or gently used bras and sports bras to the race for our collection. We'll take everything to I Support the Girls and they will work with their network to ensure that our donations are distributed to women experiencing homelessness, impoverishment, or other times of distress.

Run for Roses, our women-only 5K race that's part of the Maryland RRCA Women's Distance Festival Series, is one week from today on June 20th! Still plenty of time to sign up or volunteer: https://www.mcrrcrunforroses.org/
