The annual SIDS Run/Walk that so many Cheverly residents have supported in the past is on Saturday (instead of Sunday), September 10. This is the first year this event will be on a Saturday. A new addition is a 5 K Run/Race around Buddy Attick Park lake, for which registration will start at 7 am at St. Hugh's Church, 135 Crescent Road, Greenbelt. A short (approximately 100 yard) Kids' Fun Run for ages 9 and under starts at 7:45 at St. Hugh's, and the start time for the 5 K RunRace for ages 10 and up is 8 am. The 5 K Run/Race will be timed by our partner, the Prince George's Running Club.
In addition to the 5 K Run/Race (for ages 10-99) and the Kids’ Fun Run, there will be the usual Walk around the lake. To facilitate parking, registration for the Walk will start at 8 am at the entrance to Buddy Attick Park (Greenbelt Lake) at 555 Crescent Road. Walkers can start walking anytime between 9 am and noon.
A special line dancing performance by the Iverson Mall Walkers will start at 9 am at the Walk start location. There will also be a guitar sing-along at the Walk location, and a free breakfast will be served at both locations. A clown will entertain the kids. Strollers and pets on leashes are welcome at the Walk, but cannot be accommodated for those who run.
