Rebecca will take on a tough field at the US 5km Championships

Rebecca will be back at it again this weekend as she takes on a very strong field at the US 5km Championships in Providence, RI. Rebecca will look to move up from her 5th place finish from last year when she toes the line. The US 5km Championships is run in conjunction with the CVS Caremark Downtown 5k. Run The Roads previews the men’s and women’s races for the upcoming weekend.
