Lace up your running shoes for the 5th annual 5K For the Health of It! on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in the vibrant heart of Baltimore, MD. This inspiring event, presented by HealthCare Access Maryland (HCAM), offers participants the choice of an in-person 5K or a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, with virtual options also available for those who wish to support the cause remotely. Typical race day conditions in late April promise ideal running weather, with historical highs around 71°F and lows around 53°F, alongside a low 14% chance of precipitation.
