Hello Bloomingdale Residents!

We invite you to sign up to run, walk, or volunteer at the  3rd annual Race for Every Child 5K on Saturday, October 3, 2015 in support of Children’s National Health System. The Race for Every Child will bring over 5,000 participants to promote wellness in the community, celebrate children’s health, and support the mission of Children’s National, our nation’s pediatric hospital.

The Race for Every Child will be held at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. from 8:30am to 12:00pm and includes an event route along Pennsylvania Avenue between the Capitol and The White House, “America’s Main Street”, with music along the way to get you excited. There will also be a variety of activities throughout the day including food trucks, vendor tables, a fitness area by Fit Kids, children’s activities and inflatables by Great Kids Events, on-stage entertainment and much more!
