Stare down the Bear!
Bear Run
Stare down the challenge of the Bear Run 4 miler. This race begins at the Pleasant Valley Fire Hall but takes a different course than its Twilight Series cousin. This 4 miler takes place on Super Bowl Sunday to get you in the right frame of mind for your pizza eating and football watching!
This is a regular dues WRRC race; $5 for members and $10 for non-members. Race day registration only.
Tentatively planning for a Noon start time - waiting for confirmation from the fire department. Stay tuned!

MD-DC RRCA Club Challenge 10 Miler
Setting out from Howard Community College, the 2026 RRCA Club Challenge brings together 15 RRCA (Road Runner Clubs of America) clubs from Maryland and DC to compete against one another in a 10 mile race. If you are a valid WRRC club member throughout the registration period, your WRRC membership is valid on race day, and you are able to complete 10 miles in the cutoff time of 2 hours 10 minutes, we encourage you to register and rep the club.
If you meet the eligibility criteria and would like to register to represent WRRC, the club will pay your registration fee. That's right! There is no cost to you to register for this event if you are an active WRRC member!
The way this race is scored, we want as many runners across all age groups that we can recruit. Don't worry if you're not the fastest - the more runners we have the better we will do. And you'd be surprised how many age / gender groups have 0, 1, or 2 runners.
Registration is open - if prompted use code 'RRCA100WRRC' to zero out your registration fee. Registration will remain open through Thursday, February 12.
