Course Description: Suds & Soles is a USATF certified 5K course beginning and ending in Rockville Town Center. The course will run through downtown Rockville and through neighborhood roads before returning to Town Center. Participants who maintain a pace that is greater than 20 minutes per mile may be directed to the sidewalk and from that point on will be required to follow normal pedestrian rules.

Timing and Scoring: The 5K race will be scored with the Ipico Bib Chip which will be attached to the bib you receive at packet pick up registration. Results will be posted on this webpage and www.mcrrc.org approximately 24 hours after the race. Both “net” and “gun” times will be displayed.

Awards: If you think you might win an award, please stick around. Awards WILL NOT be mailed! Awards to the top male and female finishers in both open and masters divisions as well as age group prizes!

Check out our new course map! We've relocated our start/finish line to North Washington Street to allow for an easier traffic flow, and especially, more room for beer at the finish line!

Packet Pickup

Pre-Race Packet Pickup TBD

Race Day Packet Pickup and Registration (if we are not sold out) will be held in Rockville Town Square beginning at 6:00pm.

Getting to the Race and Parking

Ample parking for the race is available in Town Center garages and the Rockville Metro parking lot. Remember parking at metro is no longer free on Saturdays so while the parking is still there, you will have to pay for it.

If you need an alternative to driving, please consider Metro, Uber or Lyft.

Bag Check

Bag check will be provided and will be located near M & T Bank (corner of Courthouse Square and North Washington Street). You must supply your own bag, labelled clearly with your bib number.

Bag check is provided as a courtesy to our participants – items are checked at your own risk and MCRRC assumes no responsibility for any valuables. Please claim your bags by 8:45pm. Unclaimed bags will be returned to MCRRC and donated if not claimed within 2 weeks.

KidZone

Suds & Soles will also feature a KidZone with activities designated only for children ages 10 and younger. The KidZone activities include a moon bounce, games, sports activities, bubbles, tattoos, popcorn, and ice pops. In addition, there will be a short Fun Run at 7:35pm. A bib is required for all children to enter the KidZone and participate in the Fun Run. Bibs must be worn by children entering the KidZone; bibs are $10 each for children ages 5 to 9, bibs are $5 for children ages 4 and under.

Again, registration is required for entry into the KidZone and participation in the Fun Run. Registration helps us to identify children as well to plan appropriately for food and activities both this year and for the future.

Parents must remain with their children while in the KidZone. Parents do not need to purchase a bib to enter the KidZone. (Bibs from the 5K event, worn by children ages 10 and younger, will be accepted for entry to the KidZone. You do not need to purchase another bib for them.)

KidZone closes at 9:00pm!
