Pacers Events Acquires Capital Running Company
by Kathy Dalby
Pacers Events, the region’s leading boutique race management company, has acquired Capital Running Company, the area’s most esteemed road race management and promotions company. The merger of these two companies will result in the creation of the area’s largest road race management and promotions company with a portfolio of more than 60 road races, 75,000 yearly participants, and the Mid-Atlantic region’s primary source for running news and events through the Washington Running Report: The Runner’s Source for DC, MD, and VA and www.runwashington.com.
“We are beyond thrilled to have Capital Running Company as part of the Pacers family,” said Kathy Dalby, Managing Partner of Pacers Events. “Rick and Kathy [Freedman] have created an impressive multi-platform business and we are excited to continue their tradition of delivering great service, events, and reporting to the DC running community.”
“We purchased Capital Running Company (formerly Colonial Running Company) in 1994 and are now passing the torch to Kathy [Dalby] and her team,” said Rick Freedman, President of Capital Running Company. “We look forward to working with Pacers Events and have thoroughly enjoyed our years of working with our staff, volunteers, charity partners, and the hundreds of thousands of fitness enthusiasts who have participated in one or more of the hundreds of races we’ve produced.”
Previous owners Rick and Kathy Freedman will continue to oversee major Capital Running Company events and the Washington Running Report. The two companies will continue to operate under their respective banners.

For the Washington Running Report
Jordan McDougal, 23, of Culpeper, VA wins by a mere half second ahead of Frank Devar, 22, of Washington, DC in the fastest road 5K of the year with 14:47.4.
Sunday morning 1700 running enthusiasts participated in the second annual Love the Run You’re With 5K, presented by Pacers Running Stores and Fitness Together.
Enjoying near perfect winter running temperatures, participants ran an out and back course along Army Navy Drive and South Joyce Street near The Shops at Pentagon Row. A Valentine’s Day inspired event, each runner chose their runner bib color based on their relationship status (red: in a relationship, green: single, yellow: well, it’s complicated) and more than 500 parings participated in the team competition.
With the top three finishers under 15:00, this event proved to be exciting with a near photo finish of winner Jordan McDougal (14:47.4) and Pacers Racing Team member Frank DeVar (14:47.9). Said DeVar, “It was a fight to the finish but Jordan edged me out in the last few steps. He’s a great competitor and I enjoyed racing against him.”
The story of the day was a surprise marriage proposal at the finish line by Gerardo Andres Calderon to his girlfriend, Grace Hannafin. Gerardo popped the question in the finish line chute after their 36:23 effort.
The post-race party sponsored by Champps Restaurant proved to be a hit with a popular karaoke contest, free drinks, and more than 150 awards distributed.
