Prepare for a tropical-themed challenge at the Luau 5K & 10K, taking place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in Westminster, MD. Kicking off from Avondale Park, this vibrant event promises a lively atmosphere perfect for runners looking to enjoy a spirited race. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 71°F and lows around 49°F, accompanied by a low 18% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather for both the 5K and 10K distances.
The race features a scenic out-and-back course, offering a chance to soak in the surroundings as you make your way. For the 5K, participants will navigate the course twice, while 10K runners will complete four loops of the route. This event is a proud part of the US Road Running Race Series, meaning every stride contributes to series points. Adding to the festive spirit, participants are encouraged to don their most creative luau-themed attire for a chance to win "Best Costume" awards, and all finishers will receive a themed medal to commemorate their achievement.
The action begins promptly at 8:00 AM, with packet pickup conveniently starting 30 minutes prior to the race start and closing 10 minutes before, so plan to arrive early. A generous two-hour time limit ensures that runners of all paces can comfortably complete their chosen distance.
