Get ready to join the ultimate 5K adventure, where the Force of Wellness will guide you through a race like no other! On May 4th, 2025, lace up your sneakers and head to the Cross County Connector Trail for a journey with stellar views of the Kent Narrows. It's not just a race—it's a mission to support a great cause.

This year’s 5K event, “May the Force of Wellness Be with You,” is all about uniting for mental health awareness and well-being. Whether you're racing as a hero of hope or walking for wellness, every step you take supports Crossroads Community Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping those in need across five mid-shore counties on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Feel free to embrace your inner Jedi, Rebel, or droid—costumes and Star Wars-inspired gear are encouraged (but not required)! Wear your favorite galactic attire or bring along a lightsaber, mask, or other fun items to show your support for mental health and have a blast.

So, grab your gear (and your running shoes), channel your inner strength, and run with purpose—because the Force is strong with this one. May the 4th Be with You!
