Need a middle distance run as part of your training this fall?

The 8th annual Susco 8k run and 2k walk will take place on September 19, 2015 at South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia, race start time is 8:30 am. The Susco 8k is held each year in memory of Reston native, Timothy P. Susco, who passed away in 2007 from a ruptured brain aneurysm. The race starts and ends at South Lakes High School, where Tim graduated, and runs along the rolling hills of Reston, just like Tim did as a four-year member of the South Lakes track and cross-country teams. The 8k distance is a perfect distance for those just starting out, those wanting a little more challenge than a 5k and for those who are looking for a good warm up for their longer distance runs later in the fall. The Susco 8k and 2k supports brain aneurysm research to help others who may be affected by brain aneurysms, but the race also supports organ donation awareness to encourage others to give the gift of life as Tim did.

The race fee includes a technical T-shirt. All children under 12 receive a finisher’s medal. More information is available at www.susco8k.com.
