Please join us for Mattawoman Creek Art Center's 2nd Annual "Art In The Park Fun-Run!"  The walk/run course will traverse the beautiful natural surroundings  of Smallwood State Park, situated on the Mattawoman Creek. The "Art In The Park 5-K" is a great way to enjoy the Autumn weather, explore nature, and appreciate beautiful works of art created by local artists in the DC Metro area. (For those who wish to participate from other locations, please sign up for our VIRTUAL 5K Option. Choose your own time, date and location. CLICK HERE FOR INFO & REGISTRATION)  
 
Runners and walkers of all ages are welcome. Strollers are allowed, but must follow the runners. No Pets Are Allowed.  Awards will follow at the conclusion of the race.

Participants are welcome and encouraged to visit the gallery and gift shop. Proceeds from the 5-K registration and any gift shop purchases benefit the Mattawoman Creek Art Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  Lunch items will be available for purchase from the park concession stand (soda, ice cream, pre-packaged microwaveable items, etc.), or you can bring your own and enjoy your lunch in the picnic area. So grab your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers & fellow nature-lovers and register now!
