Sign Up for a 5K Online Traing Plan

The Run for the Door 5K has teamed up with ActiveTrainer coaches to provide training plans specifically for this race. These plans are designed for athletes of ALL levels, from the first-timer all the way up to the most experienced athlete. Included with your training plan is an online calendar, reporting tools, training calculators, maps, daily emails, and much more!

ChronoTrack Timing and Scoring

Transponder timing operated by Capital Running Company will be used to score the 5K race. The system uses a computer "tag" which must be tied to each runners' shoelaces and records the exact time a runner crosses the starting line and the finish line, resulting in a net time for each runner. The D-tag is disposable and is initiailly attached to your bib number. Overall awards will be based upon clock time and age group awards will be based upon transponder times.

Awards

The top three male and female finishers overall receive awards. The top three male and female finishers in these age groups also receive awards: 19 & under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and over.

Packet Pick up

Race packets, t-shirts, bibs, and Chrono-Track D-Tags will be available at the Potomac River Running Store in Ashburn on Saturday, September 18 from 2 until 6 pm. On race day packet pickup is from 7 am until 8:50 am. Please don't wait until race day if you want to avoid the lines.

Picking up for Your Family and Friends

We do allow runners to pick up bibs and t-shirts for their friends. Please note that t-shirts cannot be mailed. You will not need to show us your ID or copies of their ID to pick up for them.
