Join us on Sept. 28 for the first Dash for Dad/Depend 10K, a race to support ZERO – The Project to End Prostate Cancer's mission to eradicate prostate cancer through awareness, outreach, advocacy and research. The race will also feature a Grand Masters division, sponsored by the Prostate Cancer Education Council's PACE Race Series. The Washington, D.C. metro area leads the country in prostate cancer death rates. Nationwide, a man dies from the disease every 18 minutes. But there is hope - education about prostate cancer risk and access to screenings can save countless lives. All proceeds will go to prostate research and free screenings in the Washington, D.C. area to those at risk. |
The entry fee for the 10K is $25, and $30 after Sept. 2. The 2K entry fee is $10. Participants who collect $100 in donations will have their registration fee waived. Form a Team Round up your friends, co-workers, community groups (club, church or association) or schools and form a team to run the race and fundraise to end prostate cancer. Team captains can set up their team by registering online as a team. *After 8 p.m. on Thursday evening (Sept. 25) we will only be accepting registration at Hudson Trail, Pacers and on Race Day. |

Zero prostate cancer deaths. Zero prostate cancer cases and for those with prostate cancer it means a zero PSA. Our name conveys what we stand for – zero tolerance for prostate cancer. As ZERO, we commit ourselves not only to reduce prostate cancer or alleviate the pain from the disease but to end it. We see a future where all men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer will be cured or manage their illness with good quality of life, with the support they need to minimize physical and emotional suffering and to cope effectively throughout their cancer journeys.

Transponder
timing operated by Capital Running Company will be used to score the 10K
race. The system uses a computer "tag" which must be tied to
each runners' shoelaces, and records the exact time a runner crosses the
starting line and the finish line, resulting in a net time for each runner.
Overall awards will be based upon clock time and age group awards will
be based upon transponder times.
