The BWC 5k in 2015 was one of first few 5Ks that I was a part of and I am going back to race it again in 2017. The highlight of this race is that it is an All Women's race and the second largest in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The race has a special cause and benefits organizations that are aimed to improve the holistic well being of cancer patients and survivors. That was what drew me to the race. Having physically and mentally strong women of character and perseverance gather together and support one another on race day, is a sight of its own. The race is definitely more about camaraderie and love!! Having a nice wet towel and rose at finish line is definitely a nice touch. Not to forget the cool watermelons on a nice hot summer day. It's the only 5k race that I have participated that has a medal for finishers. I guess, the medal is symbolic of the heroes in each one of us. I definitely would recommend this race to all women, near or far, old or young, to join in. You will not leave the place without feeling that you are part of a wonderful running community! I can't wait to race it once again in June 2017.
