Krumpe's Donut Alley Rally 5K

Lace up your running shoes for a "sweet" evening at the Krumpe's Donut Alley Rally 5K, set for Friday, August 14, 2026, in Hagerstown, MD. This popular evening 5K run/walk offers a unique blend of fitness and fun, kicking off and concluding right outside the iconic Krumpe's Do-nut Shop, a cherished Hagerstown tradition for over 80 years. Participants can look forward to a course that is mostly level with a few gentle hills, winding through residential areas in the south end of Hagerstown and meandering through the scenic Rose Hill Cemetery, all on a smooth macadam road surface. Typical race day conditions in mid-August feature highs around 86°F and lows around 67°F, with a modest 13% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, the Krumpe's Donut Alley Rally 5K is an event with heart, as 100% of its net proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project and The Mason-Dixon Warrior Adventures. Runners will receive a race t-shirt and custom bib, while top finishers in overall and age group categories earn custom awards and medals, with cash prizes for overall winners. Aid stations are well-placed with two water stops within the cemetery and a third at the finish line to keep runners hydrated.

The festive atmosphere at Krumpe's Do-nut Shop enhances the experience, featuring a free band both before and after the race for spectators and participants alike. Runners who pick up their packets early even get to enjoy a complimentary glazed Krumpe's appetizer donut. This race is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a delightful evening run, support a worthy cause, and be part of a vibrant community tradition.
