Derek Sheely LEAD THE WAY 4.0-Mile Race

Held in honor of Derek Sheely, a 2007 Northwest High School graduate, this race is to increase awareness and raise money for critical concussion and brain injury research. The inaugural 4- mile out and back run and 1-mile walk is at Northwest High School in Germantown, MD.

We are planning an exciting event for you with a DJ, mascots from Red Robin and Chick-fil-A, lots of free food, overstuffed goodie bags, medals for all runners and walkers who finish, and nearly $4,000 in door prizes!! There is still time to sign up, so please tell all of your family, friends, and neighbors – they are not going to want to miss it.

Packet Pick-up:  For your convenience, we will have two packet pickup days. Both will be held near the stadium at Northwest High School in Germantown, MD.

  • Friday, June 1 from 5-8 pm
  • Saturday, June 2 from 6:45-7:45 am

Parking:  Parking will be available at Northwest High School. However, there is an SAT at the school that morning, and school officials would prefer if you park in the upper parking lot by the main office and auditorium. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
