The City of Rockville, in partnership with the Montgomery County Road Runners Club, will again host the fall running tradition of the Rockville 10k/5k run on Sunday morning, Nov. 3. The event, which welcomes runners of all abilities, will happen along the streets of the King Farm community.
The race will be staged from the King Farm Village Center, located at 302 King Farm Blvd. in Rockville. Road closures in the area will go into effect. At 8:10 a.m., a kids' one-mile fun run will begin at the corner of Redland Blvd. and Pleasant Drive. The 10k run begins at 8:30 a.m., and the 5k run starts at 8:45 a.m.
Although participants of all abilities are welcome, a 15-minute per mile pace will be enforced due to permitting requirements and the re-opening of roads. Participants who fall behind that pace will be moved to the sidewalk.
Walkers are encouraged to participate in the 5k distance due to the road closure restrictions. Strollers are permitted, but organizers ask anyone pushing a stroller to seed themselves in the back of the field at the start of the race they are running.
Dogs and all other pets are not permitted on the course.
