The Runstr District 5K is a charity race with a twist. Your finish decides which cause wins. Pick a team. Run your best. The charity with the most runners in the top 100 takes home $500.
Join us on March 15th in Washington D.C. for an extraordinary day of spring fun. Start with an early morning charity 5K benefitting the Human Rights Foundation, Chimes, and the ALS Network. Then head to the brand new PubKey D.C. for a post-race celebration that brings together fitness, Bitcoin innovation, and live music like you’ve never experienced before.
What’s Happening
RUNSTR District 5K Lunch & Learn
Hains Point Park 6AM to 10AM
Start your day at Hains Point Park with a charity 5K run alongside the vibrant mid-Atlantic Bitcoin community, all running their hearts out for three incredible causes: the Human Rights Foundation, Chimes, and the ALS Network.
Then head just 3 miles away to the brand new PubKey D.C. for the real magic. We’re hosting a live-streamed lunch & learn, charity race awards ceremony, and a live music showcase from Bitcoin Music star Ainsley Costello.
The Experience
