Rescue 1 Run 8K road race & Kids' Ambulance Chase

The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad will host its 3rd annual Rescue 1 Run 8K and Kids' Ambulance Chase, Sunday, May 1, starting at 8:00am. Runners will race the rolling USATF certified 8K course, which begins and ends near the squad’s station at 5020 Battery Lane and takes runners up Old Georgetown Road, onto Beech Avenue, Linden Avenue, and Pooks Hill Road, then down Rockville Pike to finish on Battery Lane.

In addition to the 8K, there will be a Kids’ Ambulance Chase fun run. Race day festivities include food, music, a rescue squad open house, a moon-bounce, and a performance by premier DC-area children’s entertainer the Great Zucchini.

Not a runner, no worries, the rescue squad is also seeking volunteers for the event as well. All volunteers will receive training, food & beverage during the event, and a free race t-shirt.

Check out the race website, www.rescue1run.com, for details on registration and volunteering. While you’re there be sure to like the race on Facebook and Twitter to make sure you receive the latest news and offers for the event.

All proceeds benefit the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides state of the art emergency medical, fire, and rescue services to the Bethesda community and upper Northwest Washington, DC. The 2016 Rescue 1 Run 8K is sponsored by the Leonard A. and Linda K. Greenberg charitable foundation and Greenhill Realty Company. The 2016 Kids’ Ambulance Chase Fun Runs are sponsored by Washington Fine Properties.
