About this race

The **14th Annual Red Shoe 5k Run & Walk Virtual Red Shoe 5k**, taking place on October 6, 2024, in Forest Heights, MD, is a well-established community event with a charitable focus. As its name suggests, this marks the fourteenth iteration of the race, highlighting its consistent popularity and support over the years. While this year's event offers a virtual option, the physical race is rooted in the Forest Heights community, providing an accessible and engaging opportunity for runners and walkers of all levels to participate in a 5k. Participants can expect a family-friendly atmosphere and the opportunity to contribute to a good cause, as indicated by the "Red Shoe" theme often associated with fundraising for organizations like Ronald McDonald House Charities. The typical terrain for a 5k in a community like Forest Heights, MD, often involves a mix of paved roads and potentially some park trails, offering a relatively flat to gently rolling course suitable for all fitness levels. While the virtual component allows for flexibility in location, the in-person event promises a scenic and well-organized race experience.
