Recurring 5K races near Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Cumberland Valley TrailFest
SAT OCT 3
The 20th Cumberland Valley TrailFest is centered at Shippensburg Station, a key location for this long-standing event. It is a vital part of the Cumberland Valley Race Series, a yearlong competition with events throughout the Cumberland Valley, connecting runners with the region's expansive trail network. This milestone edition is presented by the Cumberland Valley Rails-to-Trails Council. All events begin and conclude at Shippensburg Station, located at the corner of Fort and. Runners will follow routes curated by the Rails-to-Trails Council, embracing the unique characteristics of converted railway lines. This gathering marks two decades of fostering outdoor activity along the valley's scenic paths.
Fall Harvest 5k
SAT OCT 3
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.
Snack Town RunFest 2026
SAT OCT 3
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.
MoCo CARES Charity Race
SAT OCT 3
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.
Freedom's Run
SAT OCT 10
Freedom's Run ties its races to places where Civil War history is part of the ground underfoot: Harpers Ferry, Antietam, and the surrounding region. The series includes a May Harpers Ferry Half & 5K and an October Freedom's Run event, with distances ranging from a full marathon and half marathon to a 10K, 5K, and Kids Fun Run. The Harpers Ferry races run inside Harpers Ferry National Park, while the longer Freedom's Run routes connect runners with historic sites in and around the area. One runner remembered entering Antietam in cold rain, with mist rising from wet earth and the field going quiet as the group ran together. The series also links to Two Rivers Treads, a local running store with a foot-first approach to shoes and gait, and it raises money for a community grant fund supporting local health and community projects.
Haunted 5K & 10K at Westminster, MD (41)
SAT OCT 10
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.
Tie Dye Run
SAT OCT 10
The Tie Dye Run takes place on a fall morning in Hagerstown, Maryland, starting at 17805 Oak Ridge Drive. Participants can choose from three distances: a 5K run/walk, a 10K run/walk, and a Family Fun Walk/Run. This setup accommodates both competitive runners aiming for a personal best and families seeking a shared activity. The family event begins earlier, with the 5K and 10K starting later in the morning after participants have checked in. The event is in its third year and benefits Compassion International, with all proceeds directed to the charity. Awards are presented to the top male and female finishers in the 5K and 10K, as well as to winners in various age groups, from youth categories up to 70 and older. Registration fees vary based on the chosen distance; the 10K is the most expensive, the family event is the least costly, and prices increase after the early registration period closes.
Coppermine 3rd Annual Breast Cancer 5K
SAT OCT 10
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.
New Market STRONG Run/Walk and Festival
SUN OCT 11
The New Market STRONG Run/Walk and Festival is an annual 5K in New Market, Maryland. It honors Karen Durbin, the town clerk who served the community for over 14 years before passing away after a prolonged battle with breast cancer. This 3.1-mile event accommodates both runners and walkers, with timing provided by Racine MultiSports. Families, walkers, and leashed dogs are welcome. The course follows New Market’s historic streets and adjacent neighborhoods, keeping the race centered on the town it benefits. Proceeds are directed to the Hurwitz Breast Cancer Fund, supporting the Frederick Health Hospital Cancer Center. Following the race, the event transitions into a local festival featuring live music, vendors, food and beverage trucks, family activities, and a cornhole competition.
Run Like Michael
SUN OCT 11
Run Like Michael centers on Michael’s 5K Run For Life, a July race connected to Michael’s Run for Life Festival in Peoria. Packet pickup is handled at RC Outfitters on SW Water Street before race day, and on-site registration is available at the festival. The run was created because Michael loved running, and it supports the foundation’s fight against signet ring colon cancer. The event’s message is direct: a large group of people can take on hard problems together. The race gathers runners and supporters around that cause, rather than around a complicated course or elite field.
Run for MWS 5K
SUN OCT 11
The Run for MWS 5K is a regional race for Mowat-Wilson Syndrome held in Monocacy Village Park in Frederick, Maryland. The event offers a 5K run/walk and a shorter Fun Run, both starting at 10am, catering to runners, walkers, families, and supporters, not exclusively competitive racers. The course is set within the park, presenting a local, park-based charity race with two distance options. Every registrant receives a Run for MWS: Mid-Atlantic Regional race t-shirt, and participants are entered into prize drawings. Non-runners can participate via a support/spectator option which also includes a shirt.
Boulder Dash at Pinesburg Quarry
SAT OCT 17
Boulder Dash uses the roads and packed gravel surrounding Pinesburg Quarry in Williamsport, Maryland, as the quarry itself is closed for race-day safety. The annual event provides three options: a challenging 5 Mile Challenge, a moderate Family Friendly 5K, and an accessible 1 Mile Fun Run. The 1-mile race begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by the 5K and 5-mile races at 10:00 a.m. It accommodates a broad range of participants, from novices and families to those seeking a more strenuous quarry race. The 5 Mile Challenge is the notable course, descending into both the main and old quarry sections, featuring hills, packed gravel, uneven terrain, and some rocky parts. The 5K remains outside the quarry pits on gently rolling roads and gravel, while the 1-mile route is flat and suitable for children or less experienced runners. Registration covers a shirt, custom bib, finisher medal, complimentary photos, and post-race awards. Chip timing and live results are managed by Racine Timing. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers and age-group winners in the 5K and 5-mile races, with 5-mile age groups ranging from 15-and-under up to 80.

About 5K races in Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV

Hagerstown-Martinsburg Training Notes

Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV hosts 70 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals keep running pretty simple around Hagerstown-Martinsburg. Fairgrounds Park, Pangborn Park, City Park, Riverbottom Park, and Leitersburg Ruritan Park all work for easy miles, and people run often around Fairgrounds Park and Pangborn Park at sunrise. The C&O Canal is always good, especially for long runs and steady Z2. The canal also gives Lock 2 Lock Marathon/Half Marathon/10k and HER 5K that flat, fast feel. The AT is the move if you really want trail running. Soul to Sole Sistahs gives women a local group option, and Jack Roberts Memorial 5K, St. Patrick's Day Run Fest, Krumpe's Donut Alley Rally 5K, and Way Station Turkey Trot 5K keep the calendar busy.

Riders get a compact but useful scene here, with 30 tracked Hagerstown routes adding up to 1,388 km. One route covers 5 km with 193 m of ascent, so it works for short intervals or a quick after-work spin. Another route covers 3 km and climbs 1,837 m, so that is the gran fondo-style day. One route covers 2 km with 309 m of ascent. The climbs are in those longer rolling routes. The 2026 Mid-Atlantic Regional Criterium Championships p/b ENVE is the anchor crit, and Hagerstown Sprint & Youth Triathlon adds a multisport target.

The source brief does not name best months, summer heat, or winter conditions, so locals keep the season call practical. Summer runners in the brief are tied to mornings, with the canal and Fairgrounds Park or Pangborn Park getting sunrise miles. Cyclists can use the canal for easier spinning and the road routes for base miles, intervals, or a hard crit tune-up. Winter details are not listed, so the honest move is to stay flexible and lean on the same reliable pieces. The canal, roads, sidewalks, parks, and AT still define the choice for both sports when conditions change.
