BACK IN TIME 2023 VIRTUAL 5K
If you missed the 2023 race but still want to earn the medal, here is your chance! For a limited time (and a registration fee of $40), you can go back in time and run the 2023 race virtually and have your medal shipped to you. Participants can do the 3.1 miles on their own. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!
Following the 5K, stick around for the Western Maryland Public Safety Expo!
Organized by the Frederick Police Department, the Expo is a career fair showcasing jobs and organizations across the whole public safety spectrum, which will also be held on FCC’s campus from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
5K Rules & Instructions
1. Participants must sign in at the check-in table prior to the start of the race. Check-in opens at 9:00 AM and closes at 9:45 AM.
2. On-site registration will be available through 9:45 AM on April 27th!
3. All 5K participants need to complete the Run to Rescue 5K liability waiver. Waivers must be submitted and on file with us before race check-in time.
4. Those ages 16 or younger are welcome to participate, but must be accompanied by a chaperone age 21 or above. (They’ll also need a parent/guardian’s signature on the waiver.)
5. Pets are not permitted. (We know, we love them too, but they can lead to safety risks in events like this with lots of agencies, demonstrations, and moving parts.)
6. Those planning to walk will be positioned to start after those who plan to run. Please follow the directions of event staff as they get you sorted out and ready to go!
