For kids starting grades K–8, the City of Gaithersburg is celebrating all things sports with its annual SportsFestan event, which promises to be an exciting and active morning. On Saturday, July 12th, Bohrer Park at Summit Hall Farm will host this free event rain or shine, showcasing the City’s emphasis on participation above competitiveness.

After the run, there will be a brief celebration to kick off the event before the free sports challenge stations open from 9 to 11 AM. Participants can put their abilities to the test in:
- Soccer
- Football
- Baseball
- Track & Field
- Basketball
- Volleyball
- Inflatable Obstacle Course
Stations will be set up inside the Activity Center and on the front field. While supplies last, participants who successfully complete the tasks will get t-shirts and prizes. Look out for Coach G, the official mascot of Gaithersburg Sports. Links for registration and further details are available here.
