Please join the Mattawoman Creek Art Center for their 1st annual "Art in the Park 5K Fun-Run"! The walk/run course will traverse the beautiful natural surroundings of Smallwood State Park, situated on the Mattawoman Creek. "Art in the Park 5K" is a great way to enjoy the Spring weather, explore nature, and appreciate beautiful works of art created by local artists in the D.C. metro area. Runners and walkers of all ages are welcome. Strollers are allowed but must follow the runners. NO pets are allowed. Awards and refreshments will follow at the conclusion of the race. 

Participants are welcome to visit the art gallery and gift shop. Proceeds from the 5K registration and any gift shop purchases benefit the Mattawoman Creek Art Center, a 501c (3) non-profit organization. Lunch items including hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, chips, and soda, will be available for purchase from the Smallwood State Park concession stand and can be enjoyed in their picnic area.
