Krampus Krawl at Maryland International Raceway 5k & 10k 2026

The Krampus Krawl offers runners a yearly opportunity to run on Maryland International Raceway in Mechanicsville, Maryland, rather than observe vehicles using it. The event provides both a 5K and a 10K on a December morning, starting at 9:45 AM Eastern. Bishop’s Events is the organizer, with Travis Bishop as the event contact. The main attraction is the venue: the course utilizes the raceway on Budds Creek Road, making the experience primarily track-and-asphalt rather than a park path or neighborhood loop. In-person registration fees vary by distance and increase as race day approaches. Virtual participation is also available, with options including a medal, without a medal or shirt, or with both a medal and shirt when that package is available.
