Description

This beautiful and fun 5K dash around Frederick Maryland's Baker Park is held annually on the first Saturday of December to benefit Girls on the Run of Mid and Western Maryland. Come ready to compete, or come in a (safe) costume - we'll provide a high-energy event for all!

Shirt deadline is November 15, 2024. You can request a shirt at packet pickup, however, receipt of a shirt is not guaranteed after this date. We do have plenty of finisher's medals to go around, so you won't walk away empty-handed!

Race HQ and race-day packet pickup will take place adjacent to the Talley Rec Center, 121 N. Bentz St., Frederick Md., from 7 to 8:45 AM. The 1K Fun Run/Roll will begin at 8:30am - the 5k run/walk/roll will start promptly at 9:00am.

Those planning on registering on-site race morning should be prepared to register via smartphone and use a credit card for payment. NO CASH accepted for race-day registration. We will have personnel to assist with on-site registration in the Drees Booth, if needed.
