Join members from the Georgetown neighborhood, Georgetown University community, and Georgetown Ministry Center on a beautiful Fall afternoon to raise awareness and support for Georgetown Ministry Center.
Take in Georgetown University’s beautiful campus with a leisurely 2k walk or participate in some friendly competition in a timed 5k race. Not sure if you can train for the 5k in time? Register anyway; you’ll be able to decide whether to walk/run the day of during check-in. Costumes are encouraged but entirely optional!
Stick around after for music and food. We will award prizes for the fastest male and female runners, best costume, person who brings in the most sponsorship money, and the largest team.
Find out what's happening in Georgetownwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
If you don’t want to run or walk, register anyways and come cheer on GMC’s Executive Director, Gunther, who will be running the 5k!

Where: Georgetown University campus, check-in at Red Square
Who: This event is open to everyone and all ages
Why: Because nearly 12,000 people in Washington, DC are homeless. Georgetown Ministry Center guides chronically, service-resistant homeless individuals toward stability and housing through aggressive street outreach, providing a safe and welcoming environment in our center where everyone is treated with respect, and educating our community about homelessness. We seek to end homelessness one person at a time.
