"Try to imagine the world today without airplanes and jets.." only then can you appreciate the significance of this accomplishment. Dec. 17, 1903 was the date of the Wright Brothers' First Powered Flight.

      To raise money for the St. Hugh Council Knights of Columbus, American Heart Association and Holy Cross Hospice.

    Directions to the race

    Directions: From Capital Beltway, take exit #23, Kenilworth Ave. north towards Greenbelt. Turn right at the light on Crescent Road. Drive approximately 1.4 miles and turn right at the stop sign just past the library on the right. Park in the parking lot behind Greenbelt Library. Registration and packet pickup is at the nearby Greenbelt Youth Center.

    DOs and DON'Ts

  • DO park at the Greenbelt Library, packet pickup is at the Greenbelt Youth Center nearby.
  • DO dress warmly.
  • DO carpool if possible.
  • DON'T park at St. Hugh Catholic Church. There is a 9:00 a.m. service there that requires the full use of their parking lot, and it's about a 1/2 mile walk to the Greenbelt Youth Center - it's not worth it!!!
