Whether you're a seasoned runner chasing a personal best, walking with friends and family, or participating in honor or memory of someone touched by cancer, your miles have a purpose. Choose from our 10K, 5K, or 1-Mile Walk and enjoy a scenic course through Turf Valley followed by an unforgettable finish line celebration.

Your registration includes:
Professionally timed 5K & 10K races
Scenic Turf Valley course
Race premium (10K and 5K only)

Best Post Race Party in Howard County
Join us for the ultimate post-race celebration featuring:

Every dollar raised benefits the Zaching Against Cancer Foundation, helping provide financial assistance through the Little Things for Cancer Program, transportation to treatment, groceries, utility assistance, prescription co-pays, and other vital services that ease the burden of cancer for families throughout Maryland.

At Zaching Against Cancer, we believe that Strength, Courage, Determination, and Hope can change lives. When you participate in the Zaching Running Festival, you're not just crossing a finish line—you're helping someone facing cancer take the next step in their journey.

Run with purpose. Walk with hope. Make every step count.

We can't wait to see you at the starting line!
