The Bethesda Running Club organizes a 5K run around the National Institutes of Health on April 12, 2026. The event starts at 4830 Rugby Avenue and follows a route that passes the NIH campus. Registration for the event carries no fee.
This run is part of a regular weekly meet, and the April 12 gathering includes a postrun buffet brunch at BT’s, located at 4866 Cordell Avenue, roughly a block from the starting line. The brunch is served as a buffet and is available for a charge of $25. Menu items listed for the brunch include pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash browns, vegetables, and juice.
Participants may run, jog, or walk the course and may choose either to return home after the run or to stay for the meal and social time. The event description states that group activity and a shared brunch are part of this particular meeting, while the core activity remains the 5K around the NIH campus.
