About the Event

Welcome to the registration page for the Holy Redeemer Cardinal 5K and Fun Run!

Every other spring, the Cardinal 5K and Half Mile Fun Run take place. On the morning of the race, hundreds of runners of all ages gather at the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church parking lot and set out to enjoy a scenic swing through Rock Creek Park and the Rock Creek Highlands neighborhood. The course challenges runners to tackle "The Hill" on Cedar Lane before turning back into the Holy Redeemer neighborhood. Shortly after the 5K runners depart, the Half Mile Fun Run (or walk!) begins for the young racers. All the kids win and receive a medal! After the races, the post-race party takes place in the Church parking lot and includesrefreshments and entertainment for the whole family. The event benefits Holy Redeemer Catholic School.

About Kensington

Kensington is a suburb of Washington, D.C. in the Capital Region of Maryland with a population of about 2,100 people in 2020. The main reasons to visit are antique shopping at Antique Row, to see the enormous Mormon Temple, and one great pizza place. Aside from that, it's just a quiet suburban town with some odd quirks. Sections of the "Town of Kensington" are really beautiful, with big old Victorian homes set in a nice community by parks and Antique Row—looking much as it did when Kensington was a summer getaway from the big city.
