Should outside conditions become unsafe, we will notify participants through text, email and social media as soon as possible, and you can also visit our Facebook page for updates.  Due to the availability of UMBC, the event will not be rescheduled.

This is a non-competitive event and we encourage all runners to go their “happy pace.”  To keep the course clear for all, we ask slower runners and walkers to stay to the right, leaving room for other runners to pass. 

Pets are not allowed at the 5K venue. We have a large number of youth attending our event. For everyone's safety, please leave pets at home. Thank you!

We need volunteers for the following activities to ensure our event is a success! 

  • Set-up and Tear Down

  • Bib Pick-Up
  • Course Marshals
  • Running Buddies
  • Water Stations
