Kosciuszko Freedom Run
2018 Centennial Edition
MARYLAND – Take part in a family-friendly run in celebration of Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a Revolutionary War hero who served in the Continental Army and 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 on Sunday, October 14th 2018, through the picturesque C&O Canal National Historic Park (Great Falls, MD). Run with us or just come out to cheer on your favorite racer. Registration is FREE, but usual entrance fees for C&O Canal National Historic Park still apply, so try carpooling.
Various prizes – courtesy of 4F, the official outfitter of the Polish Olympic Team – for the winners in different age groups, and additional honors for the best runners from the DC diplomatic community and kids. Special honors for the best teams! Refreshments, delicious Polish and Lithuanian pastries and great fun guaranteed!
