Safe Routes to School Takoma Park 5K Challenge
Race day is Sunday, May 1!
The Safe Routes to School Takoma Park 5K Challenge promotes pedestrian safety by challenging the students, parents and staff at participating schools, and area residents to train and compete in the annual event held the first Sunday in May.
