Event Details

Join us for one of the DC area’s favorite fall traditions—the Kensington 8K, now in its 32nd year! This fast, scenic race winds through the beautiful streets of Kensington and Rock Creek Park, offering runners of all levels a fun and challenging course.

Kensington Park Senior Living is proud to support this true community celebration with a booth at the event—stop by and say hello!

More than just a race, the Kensington 8K brings together families, friends, and neighbors, with cheering crowds, school spirit, and a shared commitment to supporting local education. Since 2009, the race has raised over $350,000 for area schools, including:

▪ Kensington Parkwood ES
▪ North Bethesda MS
▪ Silver Creek MS
▪ Walter Johnson HS
▪ North Chevy Chase ES
▪ Oakland Terrace ES
▪ Rock View ES
▪ Rosemary Hills ES

Mark your calendars: September 20, 2025! Come for the race, stay for the community.
