Event Information
About the Race
The Horizons at Norwood 5K is a professionally timed race that starts and ends on the campus of Norwood School in Bethesda, Maryland. The course winds through a beautiful residential neighborhood. Prizes will be awarded to the top three male and female 5K finishers. The largest and fastest teams will also be recognized. Teams can include participants in both the 5K and the Fun Run.

The one-mile Fun Run takes place entirely on Norwood's campus.

Runners and walkers are welcome in both events.

All proceeds from the 5K & Fun Run support Horizons Greater Washington, a transformative educational enrichment program that serves low-income students in Washington, DC and Montgomery County, MD.

Now in its fifth year, the Horizons at Norwood 5K & Fun Run has raised more than $120,000 to fund intensive summer and school-year Saturday academic, cultural, and recreational enrichment programs at Maret School, Norwood School, and St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School.
Course
The Horizons at Norwood 5K begins on the Norwood School campus, continues down River Road in the direction of Potomac Village, loops around Harrington Drive, Inglewood Court, and Inglewood Drive, and returns to Norwood along River Road. Police officers will be stationed at major intersections.

The one-mile Fun Run takes place entirely on campus. Runners start in the Lower School circle and head down Owen Drive toward River Road. The route cuts through the small parking lot near the end of Owen Drive, continues across the bottom of the playing fields, and returns to pavement at the Middle School entrance to Norwood. Runners continue up the driveway, through the Middle School parking lot, and down past the baseball field, where they make a left onto the sidewalk along Bradley Boulevard. The last leg of the route proceeds up the school driveway and finishes with a counter-clockwise jog around the Lower School circle to the finish.
