The 28th Annual Ashburn Farm 10K/5K/2K
Thanksgiving Day, November 25th

We’re back to continue the tradition. Whether you run to win, run for fun, run to support our students in Uganda or just run because you want a guilt free day of eating – plan to join us for the 28th Annual Race events. You can choose to run in person or participate virtually.

This annual event is a primary source of funding for Crossroads’ mission in Uganda to educate students. This year has been difficult as Uganda has been through multiple lockdowns and schools have been closed, and continue to be closed due to the pandemic. When not in school, students are particularly vulnerable. Due to the funds raised from this race and the generosity of individual donors, we have been able to support current and former students with food resources.

Runners, volunteers, sponsors and donors are needed. Learn more or email Jen Score for more information about how to be involved.
