Charm City Run 5K at Boordy Vineyards presented by Hoka

Prepare for an unforgettable twilight run at the Charm City Run 5K at Boordy Vineyards, presented by Hoka, on Sunday, August 9, 2026, in scenic Hydes, MD. This popular 5K takes participants on an out-and-back journey through the picturesque grounds of Maryland's oldest winery, Boordy Vineyards. Runners will experience a varied course that begins and ends on grassy vineyard stretches, transitioning to paved roads for the majority of the distance. Be ready for a challenge, as previous participants have described the course as hot and hilly, featuring a notable downhill section followed by an uphill return through the beautiful, rolling landscape. Strollers are not permitted on this unique course.

The Charm City Run 5K is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and exceptional post-race celebration. As a signature Charm City Run event, it offers a "golden hour" run that culminates in a lively party. Finishers can look forward to receiving a soft race shirt, post-race snacks, and for those 21 and over, a souvenir wine glass complete with a complimentary fill of Boordy Vineyards wine. The festivities continue with live music and an array of food vendors, creating a relaxed and celebratory environment that runners consistently praise. Typical race day conditions in early August include highs around 89°F and lows around 73°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation.
