Join us on Sept. 28 for the first Dash for Dad/Depend 10K, a race to support ZERO – The Project to End Prostate Cancer's mission to eradicate prostate cancer through awareness, outreach, advocacy and research. The race will also feature a Grand Masters division, sponsored by the Prostate Cancer Education Council's PACE Race Series. The Washington, D.C. metro area leads the country in prostate cancer death rates. Nationwide, a man dies from the disease every 18 minutes. But there is hope - education about prostate cancer risk and access to screenings can save countless lives. All proceeds will go to prostate research and free screenings in the Washington, D.C. area to those at risk. |

be based upon transponder times.
