The 2016 Rockville Rotary Twilight Runfest, known locally as the Twilighter consists of a pre-race festival, 2 tot-trots, a 5k road race and a post race festival and party.

Since its inception in 1985, the Twilighter has become one of the most popular races of the summer in the National Capital area.

The pre-race festival will begin at Cabin John Shopping Center and Mall with vendors and family-friendly events beginning at 6 p.m. This year’s theme is “Light Up The Night.” Look for exciting contests and prizes involving this theme. Planned activities – weather permitting – include free kids activities, food vendors, merchants, and fun.
