Dig In 2009 photos courtesy of Glenda Kapsalis The 2009 Dig In Your Heels 5k on November 1st was a resounding success! Hundreds of runners turned out for the race, despite the very rainy day! View the race results. The Washington Youth Garden partnered with Girls on the Run--DC this year. Girls on the Run is an international non-profit serving preteen and adolescent girls. The DC chapter holds 12-week character building programs, culminating in a 5k race at the end of each program. We also partnered with the Washington Running Report, DC's premier racing website. Runners from all over the DC-metro area visit the Washington Running Report's website for up-to-date information on races in and around DC. See photos from the 2008 Dig In Your Heels race in our photo gallery! A special thanks to our photographer, Glenda Kapsalis, for donating her time to produce these wonderful photos. Held annually in November, Dig In Your Heels 5K and Fun Run offers something for everyone in the family. Hills challenge the avid runners, walkers stretch their legs, and a jogging juggler leads the smallest in a fitness parade!
