Cross Country 5K (5K) - Nov 15, 2026 | Baltimore, MD

Lace up your trail shoes for the Cross Country 5K on November 15, 2026, a distinctive event hosted by the Baltimore Road Runners Club (BRRC) at Baltimore's scenic Herring Run Park. This 5K offers a true cross-country experience, guiding runners through a dynamic course that features a lively mix of paved paths, open fields, and technical single-track trails. Prepare to navigate "over the river (twice) and through the woods", promising a challenging yet rewarding jaunt through the park's natural beauty. While road shoes are acceptable, the varied terrain, which deviates from typical high school courses to include more natural trails, suggests that trail-specific footwear would be beneficial for optimal grip and stability. This race kicks off with a classic cross-country style start, allowing for a good spread of runners from the outset.

As the final event in the BRRC Grand Prix Series, this race provides a fantastic opportunity to test your fitness as the year winds down, perhaps as a speed workout in preparation for other late-season races. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in mid-November, with average highs around 57°F and lows near 43°F, alongside a modest 12% chance of precipitation. The event maintains a welcoming atmosphere, emphasizing a fun early Sunday morning run. The Cross Country 5K starts along Belair Road on the Chesterfield side near a muraled shed, with ample parking available on Belair or Chesterfield Road, a short walk to the starting area near the Herring Run Bridge. This unique event is free to participate in, with donations gratefully accepted to support a college scholarship fund or the Friends of Herring Run Parks.
