Dogwood School 5K
Reston Runners was pleased to be the sponsor, through our Reston Runners Community Fund, of the Dragon Dash at Dogwood Elementary School, FCPS this morning. This 5k was a fundraiser to move Dogwood toward accreditation as an International Baccalaureate primary years program school. For more information about our community fund see our website at http://rrcommunityfund.org/. Shown here are Reston Runners Community Fund President Mike McCord with Dogwood Elementary Assistant Principals Jamie Gadley and Stephanie Guffain and Principal Mie Devers. These dedicated school administrators not only organized the event but served as course sentries for the run. If you have a suggestion for other local activities or organizations that should be considered for RRCF support, please contact the RRCF board at This email address is being protected from spambots.

10 Weeks to 10K – So many success stories!
Great to see so many of our 10 Weeks to 10K program people at the Finish Line, beaming at their accomplishments and proudly displaying their well-deserved medals! For some it was their first 10K, and some ran their first 10 miler! Neither the warm weather, nor humidity, nor the hills deterred our intrepid group of 36 runners and walkers, and 8 coaches, from giving their best efforts on the course. Special thanks to program leads John Koss and Julia Low (who placed in their respective age groups) - Click on the picture to view photos.
