Holiday Lights Run
Each December, since 2009, DC Capital Striders Running Group has organized a holiday themed fun run. In 2009, the run was held at Blackfinn Ameripub DC with approximately 200 participants. In 2010, the run was held in front of Union Station with drinks and food provided by Union Pub. In 2011 and 2012, the run was held at Washington Court Hotel. Since 2013, the run has been held at Renaissance Hotel DC.
Since 2012, we have partnered with Salvation Army and have asked participants to bring new, unwrapped toys as part of their Angel Tree Program. In recent years, we have raised thousands of dollars for both St. Judes Children's Research Hospital and So Others Might Eat.
The 2018 run started and finished at Arc’teryx and the after run party was held at Mackey’s Pub. We thank them for their generous hospitality!
