Description
The Key City Foundation 5K Octoberfest Fun Run takes place Saturday, October 5, 2024 and will be a great time for friends and family. It is October, so bonus points for those runners brave enough to wear a costume!
Come run (or walk) with us, enjoy the Family Fun Zone, and check out a local brewery. The run starts at 10:30am and registration will open at 8:30am.
Proceeds will help fund ongoing Key City Foundation youth sports initiatives, like free sports skills clinics and our youth lacrosse program. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to our nonprofit partner Girls on the Run Mid and Western Maryland.
