Welcome to the DC Road Runners Club volunteer page.

We are always looking for volunteers for races and conducting training runs. 

Volunteer Opportunities: 

41^st Running of the Capital Challenge, Wednesday, May 17^th at Anacostia Park

This race pits journalists against members of Congress, senior administration officials subject to Senate confirmation, federal judges, and military members of admiral or general rank.

It started in 1982 and brings journalists into contact with sources and allows government officials to interact via running and away from partisan politics. All entry fees go to the Junior Achievement charity.

Club members have dominated the race over the years and include numerous winners of the fastest journalist and fastest administration official awards, as well as the fastest general/admiral. The two top race officials are former DCRRC presidents, Jeff Darman and Phil Stewart.

The race is during the workweek, Wednesday morning, May 17, in Anacostia Park. Information on volunteering is at: https://capitalchallenge.com/race-volunteers-needed/
