Lace up for a vibrant celebration of community and culture at the 5th Annual SEED School of MD’s Run-Up-To Juneteenth 5K Run/1 Mile Walk, set for June 14, 2026, in Baltimore, MD. This uplifting event serves as the official kick-off to AFRAM's 50th Anniversary, inviting participants to embrace a spirit of history and unity. The race returns to the beautiful Druid Hill Park, honoring the original AFRAM routes from 1976 and offering a scenic backdrop for both runners and walkers. Runners can enjoy the 3.1069-mile course, while walkers can opt for the 1-mile route, with virtual options also available for those who wish to participate remotely.

Beyond the pavement, this event is a day filled with joy, movement, and purpose, directly supporting the SEED School of Maryland's College Transition & Success Program. The festive atmosphere promises music, entertainment, local food vendors, and activities for children, creating a true community celebration at the Race Village. Adding a unique flair, runners are encouraged to "throw it back" with 1976-themed retro outfits, with a prize awarded for the best throwback look. Typical race day conditions in mid-June include highs around 86°F and lows around 69°F, with a 13% chance of precipitation, making for a warm yet potentially pleasant morning run.
