* Sports Plus Selected as Beneficiary for DARCARS Young Run!
Sports Plus has been selected to be the local non-profit children's beneficiary for the DARCARS Young Run on October 21,2007 in Rockville. This year will be the 19th year for the race and last year it drew close to 3,000 participants. The race is both fun and unique in that it is just for kids 12 and under.
