Organiser's Description

Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center [http://geneseevalley.org] is a nonprofit organization co-founded by Tom LaMonica in 1981. Tom was a teacher and coach at Friends School of Baltimore and passionately served as our leader until his passing in September 2010.

This 5K trail run is a memorial to one of our founders and we are also celebrating our 43rd year!

Tom helped build Genesee Valley to provide a space for groups to become better teammates and classmates through physical challenges. We continue that tradition today by offering Summer Camp and Team building programs to students and adults that focus on communication, confidence building, persistence, leadership, and creative problem solving.

Proceeds from this event support our scholarship fund for students and campers who could not otherwise afford to attend Genesee Valley.

POST RACE FESTIVAL: Stick around after the race and enjoy some food, music and beverages. Be sure to bring a blanket or chair so you can sit back and relax post race. FOOD WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON SITE.
