The MD-DC RRCA 10 Mile Club Challenge is a one-of-a-kind, restricted entry event. Runners race on behalf of their respective RRCA club and score points cross country style. Awards are given by club, not by runner. You race for the bragging rights of your RRCA club. It is the capstone event within the MD Grand Prix series. An RRCA Presidents meeting is held immediately after the race each year.
The course is a very challenging 10 Miles with a time cutoff of 2 hours, 10 minutes (13mpm pace or better).
It is held at the Athletic Building of Howard Community College in Columbia, MD. It is one of many events that comprise the Maryland RRCA Grand Prix Series.
Howard Community College's Athletic Building is located off Dragon Place, near the campus entrance on Campus Drive & Hickory Ridge Road, Columbia, MD.

Learn more about the host city, Columbia.
Columbia is a planned city in Howard County, Central Maryland. It differs strongly from most notions of what constitutes a "city," as the planner divided the densely populated, but decidedly suburban in character, city into ten "villages," each of which are divided into several neighborhoods, leaving the city with a less obvious center.
