Tekau's Heart Memorial 5K Run

The Tekau's Heart Memorial 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk is an annual event held to honor the memory of Tekau Rasayon, who tragically passed away at 17 due to a heart condition. Scheduled for September 13, 2025, at the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trail in Oxon Hill, MD, this USATF certified course aims to raise awareness about heart health issues affecting teens and young adults.
