Tekau's Heart Memorial 5K Run

The Tekau's Heart Memorial 5K Run/1 Mile Walk is held annually in Oxon Hill, Maryland, along the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trail. This USATF certified event honors the memory of Tekau Rasayon, a high school senior who tragically passed away from a heart condition while running. The race aims to raise awareness about heart conditions affecting teens and young adults.

Participants can choose between a 5K run, a 1-mile walk, or a virtual option. Proceeds support a memorial scholarship for local high school seniors, heart health programs, and awareness initiatives. The event fosters a community atmosphere of remembrance, health advocacy, and support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
