Yates-Astro Resolution Race and Trail Run to Benefit Bethesda Academy

The 650+ acre campus of Bethesda Academy includes cattle pastures, marsh, a farm, garden, athletic fields, cottages, and tree lined paths - making it a prime location for a trail run! Join us for a 3.1 mile run through this picturesque campus, which is not usually open to the public. The course follows marsh lines, tree lines, and passes cattle, goats, chickens, and the organic garden along the way.  The trail will provide unprecedented access to Bethesda’s campus and develop an appreciation for trail running! After you are finished with the run, you may stay and join us for a Pancake Breakfast!  The Pancake Breakfast is free for all runners.  You may purchase additional tickets for the breakfast for $5 a piece at the event.  This course is family friendly, but the terrain is not suitable for strollers or pets. 

Race proceeds go to The Women’s Board of Bethesda for the purpose of enriching and improving the lives of the boys at Bethesda Academy.  

Cost of registration is $35 per person until December 25, 2026.  From December 26, 2026 - January 8, 2027 registration cost increases to $45. Register early and save!
