We’re pleased to announce the third annual 2017 Spring Strip. Throughout your run, you’ll pass checkpoints, known affectionately as “Strip Stations,” where you’ll be asked to donate an article of clothing to be given to America’s veterans in need. Layer up, or you might not have anything left for the party at Mr. Smith's afterwards!

About the Spring Strip:
Spring Strip is a one-of-a-kind clothing drive. Three 'strip stations' along the 5k course (optional) and one at the finish line provide you an opportunity to do a little spring cleaning and donate to a good cause at the same time. Join RacePacket for this fun flat 5K run along the C&O Canal Towpath starting and finishing at the Alexandria Aqueduct in Georgetown.
