Take part in a family-friendly run in celebration of Revolutionary War hero Thaddeus Kosciuszko, who served in the Continental Army and who helped America win its independence. Described by Thomas Jefferson as “the purest son of liberty,” Thaddeus Kosciuszko stood for equality and liberty for all!
Join us in commemorating Kosciuszko’s legacy with a run through the picturesque C&O Canal National Historic Park (Great Falls, MD) on Sunday, October 3, 2021. Run with us or come to cheer on your family and friends!
All adult runners will receive commemorative medals!
Registration is FREE on the MCRRC website, but usual entrance fees for the C&O Canal National Historic Park still apply, so we encourage everyone to carpool.
The 2021 Kosciuszko Freedom Run: Fifth Edition, is organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in partnership with the Embassy of Lithuania and in collaboration with the Montgomery County Road Runners Club.
We look forward to seeing you on October 3rd and celebrating Kosciuszko together!
