Snack Town RunFest 2026

Snack Town RunFest takes place in Hanover, Pennsylvania, offering several distances rather than a single main event. The available races include a chip-timed half marathon, 10K, and 5K, along with a 5K Corporate Challenge and a Kids Fun Run for participants aged 4 to 12. The event occurs in early October, organized by the Hanover Area YMCA and supported by partners Utz Brands, Inc. and WellSpan Health. The half marathon covers approximately 13.11 miles on a single-loop course, and the 5K is about 3.11 miles, also on a single loop. This format attracts a variety of participants: half marathoners, shorter-distance runners, corporate teams, families, and children who can race themselves instead of just observing. A local tradition is the Beer Bash on George, featuring craft breweries as part of the post-race activities.

Fall Foliage 5k & 10k

The Fall Foliage 5k & 10k begins at Constitution Park in Waynesboro, Virginia, during the autumn leaf season. Participants can select either a 5k or a 10k, accommodating those seeking a brief community run and those preferring a longer morning race. The route winds through Waynesboro neighborhoods and follows the South River Greenway, featuring autumn colors and fallen leaves. Aid stations are provided, participants receive a race-day shirt, and a food-and-drink gathering follows the finish. The Fall Foliage Art Festival, featuring artists nationwide, takes place downtown the same weekend.

Fall Harvest 5k

The Fall Harvest 5K begins at 9:00 a.m. starting from BB&T Bank. Morning registration and packet pickup are at the Borough Building on Filbert Street. This is a 3.1-mile road race on a flat, fast, wheel-measured course. The plan is straightforward: arrive early, attach your bib, and complete a quick local 5K. Awards are presented to the top three men and women in each age group, with divisions from under 10 to 70+. The fastest overall male and female runners receive trophies. The current course records are 16:56.80 for men and 17:20.65 for women. A $200 prize is offered for the first man and first woman to break the record in the new 70+ age group.

RunThrough USA Druid Hill Park (Baltimore) 5K & 10K October 2026

The second edition runs through Druid Hill Park, a historic public park. The course follows tree-lined paths and open green spaces, with clear signs and marshals. A themed medal, chip-timed results, and free race photos are included. Marshals will provide guidance and encouragement.

MoCo CARES Charity Race

The MoCo CARES Charity Race begins at 7503 Muncaster Mill Road in Gaithersburg, Maryland, offering 1.6 km, 5 km, and 10 km distances. This local charity run, organized by So What Else and Covenant Life School, focuses on fundraising for local charities and assisting children and families in need throughout Montgomery County. The course features short-distance paths arranged by volunteers, including a route similar to a 1-mile run and a 5K route. Local families, businesses, volunteers, and Companies Who CARE participate in the event. Capital Youth Outreach Club collaborates with So What Else for service support. Volunteers manage the event's logistics, such as setting up signs and booths, encouraging runners, ensuring children's safety, participating in a post-race service project, and assisting with cleanup. Formerly known as the LaunchCARES Charity Race, it originated as a small community gathering before growing into a county-wide initiative aimed at combating hunger.

Red Shoe 5k 16th Annual Run/Walk & Kids Fun Run Benefiting Ronald McDonald House

The Red Shoe 5k is a 5 km run/walk held in Forest Heights, Maryland. The race begins at Capital Canopy on National Plaza and marks the event's 16th year. Proceeds benefit the Ronald McDonald House. This event welcomes participants beyond competitive runners. Walkers are welcome in the main 5k, and a Kids Fun Run is available for children. The focus on charity provides the day with a distinct objective, as families and community members gather for a short race that is straightforward and suitable for various age groups.

The Westminster Haunted 5K & 10K is a Halloween-themed road race held at 739 Tahoma Farm Road in Westminster, Maryland. The race begins at 8:00 AM. Packet pickup is available starting 30 minutes before the race and closes 10 minutes prior to the start. Registration must be completed via RunSignup before race day; no on-site registration will be offered. Both the 5K and 10K events follow an out-and-back course. The 5K route is completed twice, and the 10K route is completed four times. All participants have a 2-hour time limit. Medals are awarded to finishers, and race merchandise can be purchased from the event shop. The best costume award adds a Halloween element beyond the event's name. The race also contributes points to the US Road Running series, attracting participants who are accumulating series results alongside local runners participating in a themed event.

Coppermine 3rd Annual Breast Cancer 5K

The Coppermine Breast Cancer 5K is a timed run and walk at 1400 Panther Drive in Hampstead, Maryland, held in October to support the fight against breast cancer. It is organized as a community 5K, welcoming runners, walkers, families, and sideline supporters. Participants receive race shirts, with an advance registration deadline to guarantee one. Music is provided, and Molli's Cafe will offer donuts and coffee for purchase. Packet pickup is available the day before at Coppermine 4 Seasons, allowing race morning to focus on the run, the cause, and the local participants.

About 5K races in Baltimore

Baltimore Training Notes

Baltimore hosts 212 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Baltimore runners keep it close and practical. Locals use Patterson Park, Federal Hill Park, Druid Hill Park, Herring Run, Lake Montebello, Stony Run Trail, Jones Falls Trail, Gwynns Falls Trail, the NCR trail, and the BWI loop for base miles. Druid Hill Park gives you the hill work when intervals need teeth, and Greenspring back into the park feels brutal in the right way. Baltimore Frontrunners meet at Patterson Park, Washington Monument, and Canton Panera Bread, and all paces are welcome. Baltimore Road Runners Club, Charm City Run, Falls Road Running, and A Tribe Called Run keep the calendar busy. Baltimore Running Festival Half Marathon and Baltimore Women's Classic 5K are the anchor events.

Baltimore riders get a real mix from the fall line. Locals spin the Jones Falls Trail, Gwynns Falls Trail, Maryland Ave bike lane, B&A Trail, BWI to Annapolis, and the Eastern Shore when Z2 needs room. Baltimore Bicycling Club brings group rides for all days and paces, plus the Instructional Cycling Series, Chestertown Weekend, and Civil War Century. Riders head to Loch Raven Reservoir for a nice loop beyond with some climbs, and the Meadowood Hampstead Loop route stacks 1,073 m over 88.8 km. Druid Hill Park hides singletrack behind the zoo, and Stony Run, Sinai, Coldspring Newtown, Leakin, and Leon Day add cyclocross flavor.

Spring and autumn give Baltimore the cleanest training block because the weather stays mild. Summer brings hot and humid days, and a Chesapeake Bay breeze often shows up on summer afternoons, so locals start early for long runs, gran fondo prep, and steady BBC rides. July still works if hydration and pace stay honest. Winter ranges from chilly to mild with sporadic snowfall, and the long, cold stretch pushes more runners toward Track Tuesday workouts and dependable park loops. Cyclists lean on BBC winter socials, then Taneytown season opener energy starts pulling people back into bigger mileage.
