Rock the Heat 5k & 10k

The Rock the Heat event takes place at Rock Creek Regional Park in Maryland. This athletic gathering features a scenic course layout centered around the park's local natural surroundings and trail systems. Participants can choose between two primary distances or opt for various virtual participation formats.

Available distances include:

  • 5 km trail run through Rock Creek Regional Park
  • 10 km trail run through Rock Creek Regional Park

The event location is situated at Needwood Lake Circle in Derwood. A unique charitable component of this race involves a partnership with Medals4Mettle. Participants are encouraged to bring previous race medals they wish to donate, which the organizers will collect and provide to the charity. Registration fees vary depending on the distance selected and the date of entry, with tiered pricing leading up to the day of the event.

In addition to the in-person races, the event offers virtual options for those unable to attend the physical location. These virtual categories allow for participation with or without provided shirts and medals, depending on the registration tier chosen during the sign-up period.
