21st Tim Kennard River Run- 10 miler & 5k Run

Join the community on Sunday, March 1, 2026, for the 21st Tim Kennard River Run in Salisbury, MD, offering both a challenging 10-mile race and an accessible 5K run/walk, alongside a unique 5K non-competitive "DOG" walk. This beloved event honors the memory of Tim Kennard, a passionate runner who wished for a race to benefit children and animals. True to his spirit, proceeds from the race support Team 360, Coalition of Caring, and the Eastern Shore Running Club Scholarship Fund.

Runners can anticipate a scenic and USATF-certified course that is renowned for being "flat and fast" through the city of Salisbury, providing an excellent opportunity for personal bests. The 10-miler features water stops approximately every two miles, while the 5K includes one water stop at mile two, with ample hydration available at the start and finish, along with portable toilets on the course. Typical race day conditions in early March often see comfortable highs around 52F and lows around 31F, with a low 14% chance of precipitation, creating favorable running weather.

The event kicks off at 8:30 AM from Salisbury Bible Fellowship, which also serves as the finish line and the location for a vibrant post-race party. Finishers are invited to enjoy hot pancakes, delicious dishes, coffee, and music, celebrating their accomplishment and the community spirit. Participants consistently praise the enthusiastic volunteers, the "amazing race" atmosphere, and the inclusive nature of the event, particularly highlighted by its support for Team 360 athletes. The 10-mile race has a 2:30 time limit, encouraging a running pace, while the 5K welcomes baby joggers and well-behaved, leashed dogs in its non-competitive walk.
