About the race
Tekau's Heart Memorial 5K Run/1 Mile Walk takes place in Oxon Hill, Maryland, along the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trail. The event offers a USATF-certified 5K course and a 1-mile walk, plus a virtual option, with the finish area near 192 MGM National Ave, at the M-NCPPC Police Substation. The run is held in memory of a high school athlete who passed away from an anomalous coronary artery and aims to raise awareness of heart conditions affecting teens and young adults.
Proceeds fund a memorial scholarship for a graduating senior, support heart-health programs, and promote cardiovascular awareness. It also emphasizes community, fitness, and heart health education. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
