Join us for our first race in the DMV area. This is sure to be a fun, fast race 
along the beautiful C & O Towpath. We are starting across from the Great Falls Tavern
Visitor Center.

We are called **The Green Race** for a reason. Our events aim to contribute to the
local community and environment by enjoying the outdoors sustainably, with each 
of us doing our part to lead more sustainable lives and preserve the environment.
We see The Green Race events as opportunities to reset ourselves in everyday life
and habits. We aim to promote environmentally friendly, ZERO WASTE race events in
the following ways:

– NO CUPS! The Green Race does not provide disposable cups (but we do provide water),
so please bring your own containers.

– REUSABLE RACE PACKS! Our race packs are reusable wetsacs for all your soggy post-
race running gear. Also makes a great sealable bag for your muddy trail shoes.
