RSPS 11th Annual Family 5K/Fun Run

Lace up your sneakers for the RSPS 11th Annual Family 5K/Fun Run, a cherished community tradition returning to Ellicott City, MD, on Friday, May 8, 2026. This vibrant evening event offers distances for everyone, with an officially timed 3.1-mile 5K kicking off at 6:00 PM, followed by a family-friendly 1-mile Fun Run at 6:05 PM. Participants of all ages and abilities, including walkers and strollers, are invited to enjoy a scenic route through the charming Valley Mede neighborhood.

The course, which starts and finishes at the Paulskirk Drive entrance in front of the school, promises a picturesque backdrop for your run or walk. After crossing the finish line, the celebration continues with a lively post-race party featuring various activities, entertainment, food trucks, and a cash bar. This event is more than just a race; it's a celebration of community and the joy of getting active together, supporting the Resurrection-St. Paul School.

With typical race day conditions in early May seeing highs around 74°F and lows around 52°F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation, it's usually ideal weather for an enjoyable evening out. Join fellow runners and families for a memorable experience that combines fitness, fun, and community spirit.
