Why The Twilight Runfest Was Cancelled
The City of Rockville and the Montgomery County Roadrunners Club in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Rockville made a decision to cancel the Twilight Runfest on July 20 for the safety of the participants.

Because of the proximity and intensity of the lightning in the area, we feel we made the responsible decision to postpone and ultimately cancel the race.
