Runners/Walkers: You'll be on a professionally rolled, gently challenging golf path in a peaceful and private setting under giant Douglas Firs.

Our timed races include:

*A 1K race for children 11 and under which starts at 8:30 a.m.

*A 5K run open to runners of all abilities with a start time of 9:10 a.m.

*A 5K walk that begins at 9:40 a.m.; we'll start our stroller runners here at the front to ensure space for all on the figure-eight course.

In addition to a re-useable swag bag with a Tooth Taxi headband, dental- and health-related items, a raffle ticket, and free entry into a putting contest, each finisher receives a medal, and there are medals for the top three finishers in each age category. Additional raffle tickets and putting contest entry may be purchased on site for $10 each.

Our host, the Rock Creek Country Club, has a bar and grill with drinks and food for purchase.

Please leave furry friends at home. 😊

All proceeds go to dental care and education for children on the Tooth Taxi. The Tooth Taxi is on the road 48 weeks a year, providing free dental care and education to children who are uninsured, underinsured, unhoused, rural-based, and/or experiencing a dental emergency. In 2025, the Tooth Taxi team cared for 1,027 children at 32 schools/neighborhood centers, worth nearly $634,000 in free services.
