5K race set for June 9; volunteers needed

The National Press Club's 15th annual Beat the Deadline 5K race is scheduled for Saturday, June 9. The the organizing committee is seeking volunteers to help plan one of the Club’s most exciting events.

Please join the 5K Committee at a meeting on Monday, March 19, at 1 p.m. on the Club's 14th-floor mezzanine to discuss how you help.

Last year’s race, which featured fitness guru Tony Horton of P90X and Suzanne Malveaux of CNN as official race marshals, raised close to $50,000. Proceeds from the race benefit the National Press Club Journalism Institute and its ongoing commitment to the future of journalism.

If you would like to work with the committee but cannot attend the meeting, or are interested in being a sponsor of this year’s race, please contact Melinda Cooke at [email protected].
