About the race
The 2027 Heroes’ Memorial 5k & 10k is a trail and park run held at Rock Creek Regional Park in Rockville, MD on May 29, 2027. The event offers two distances and both count toward the organizer’s Year-Long 5k, 10k and Back of the Pack series, as well as the Spring Series.
The course uses a mix of paved and gravel trails with lake views. The route includes about one mile of paved path and about two miles of trail with rolling hills. The 5 km is an out and back once; the 10 km is two out and backs. Water stations are placed along the courses: five on the 10k and two on the 5k; Gatorade is available at some stations. Restrooms are located inside the park.
Registered runners receive a finisher medal, a technical (Dri-FIT) event shirt and chip timing. T-shirt sizes are guaranteed for registrations completed before May 19; additional shirts may be available afterward on a first-come, first-served basis. Race-day registration and on-site packet pickup are available; shirt sizes for race-day registrants cannot be guaranteed.
The event partners with the John P. Mayhugh Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization focused on improving outcomes for people affected by post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury and addiction. Live results are posted via the event timing service and final results with series points are published after the race. The organizer posts photos and medal or shirt designs on social media in the days before and after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
