Crofton Kiwanis/Team Surlis, Gress & Co. RE/MAX 10K Challenge & 5K Run

Lace up for a vibrant community tradition at the Crofton Kiwanis/Team Surlis, Gress & Co. RE/MAX 10K Challenge & 5K Run, set for Saturday, June 13, 2026, in picturesque Crofton, MD. This long-standing event, celebrating over 35 years for the 10K Challenge, offers both a certified 10K course and a 5K run (approximately 3.3 miles or 5.3K). The 10K route guides runners through Crofton's scenic, tree-lined parkway loop and charming residential streets, presenting a mix of flat sections and a few engaging hills, with course monitors ensuring you stay on track. For those opting for the 5K, the race unfolds exclusively along the picturesque Crofton Parkway, providing an enjoyable experience for all abilities.

Both races kick off promptly at 8 AM, with registration opening at 6:30 AM in the Crofton Country Club north parking lot. Participants can expect well-supported courses, with water available at the start, finish, and designated aid stations, along with pre and post-race snacks. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature highs around 84°F and lows around 63°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, this "neighborhood event" is a powerful fundraiser, with all proceeds directly benefiting local charitable efforts and projects championed by the Kiwanis Foundation of Crofton. Join fellow runners and contribute to a cause that truly makes a difference in the community.
