The .05K, presented by 98ROCK, is a small Baltimore race with a distance that's a joke: it measures just 162 feet, or “point zero five K.” This yearly evening event takes place at Union Craft Brewing and functions as a launch party for the Baltimore Running Festival. Registration costs $15 and includes a bib and a commemorative 98ROCK/.05K T-shirt. The course is essentially a short dash or walk, after which participants return to Union Craft Brewing. Justin, Scott, and Spiegel from 98ROCK lead the event, which includes check-in, pre-race beer, and a warm-up before the one-minute race. The event is open to ages 21 to 99, costumes add to the enjoyment, and those not running can still attend for the brewery gathering. All proceeds from entry fees benefit the Baltimore City Firefighters Local 734 Widows & Orphans Fund.

The Retriever 5k Dawg Chase and Fun Run begins and ends at UMBC’s Albin O. Kuhn Library in Baltimore. This Homecoming morning event offers a 5k for runners and walkers, and a 1-mile option for those seeking a more relaxed outing with family, friends, or a pet. Check-in starts early, with the race/walk commencing at 8:30 a.m. The course is contained on campus, with both distances concluding back at the library. Participant numbers are limited to 250, fostering a community feel for Homecoming rather than a large-scale road race. UMBC students receive a reduced entry fee, and alumni, faculty, staff, friends, and families can register individually or as a family pack. Those who register early will get a commemorative shirt and a participant medal.

The Cardinal Cup is a fall 5K run and 1-mile walk held at the School of the Cathedral, 111 Amberly Way in Baltimore. It is hosted by the School of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, with Mother Seton Academy invited as the beneficiary and community partner. The race features a timed 5K for runners and a shorter walk for those who want the day without the full distance. The event supports Mother Seton Academy: net proceeds and all sponsorship donations go directly to the school. A past edition had over 500 participants, indicating it is more than a small school fundraiser. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female 5K finishers, while the 1-mile option is open to younger children, families, walkers, and supporters focused on the cause rather than a race result.

The Cats & Bats Haunted 5K begins at Festival Park in Aberdeen, Maryland, at 8:00 a.m. on Halloween morning.

Now in its 12th year, packet pickup is available under the pavilion starting at 6:30 a.m. The process is straightforward: arrive at the park, collect your bib, and proceed to the certified 5K course.

The course features a short out-and-back segment. 5K participants complete this segment twice, while 10K participants complete it four times. A two-hour course time limit is in effect.

The Patterson Park 5K & Homebrew Contest combines a road 5K run within Baltimore’s Patterson Park with a homebrew tasting and competition. It typically takes place in November, featuring a 1-mile fun run preceding the 5K. Both events are open to families, strollers, and dogs. The race course is contained entirely within Patterson Park and features some inclines, making it a relaxed neighborhood event rather than a fast, flat course. The field size is modest, typically numbering in the low hundreds. Participants include runners, walkers, children, pet owners, beer tasters, and those supporting student travel. Following the races, the event transitions to a beer garden atmosphere with homebrew samples, live music, food, and local vendors. The homebrew contest is an established annual tradition connected to a Baltimore initiative focused on developing global citizens.
