Dig In Your Heels
Dig In Your Heels

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! Enjoy fresh good-for-you snacks, healthy how-to's and plenty of fun fall activities as you show your support for Washington Youth Garden.

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 in 2009. 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.
