5K race benefits MNCPPC & Boys and Girls Clubs. Also helps provide healthcare to underserved populations. We are looking for people who can cheer our runners on and direct them on the race course.

The events start with the Kids Fun Run at 8:15 am, followed by the 5K Race. The 5K race (3.1 miles) begins at the former 94th Aero Squadron at 5240 Paint Branch Parkway, and ends near the College Park Airport a few hundred feet away from the start. This flat, USATF certified course, features electronic timing and is designed for speed and setting personal records. Awards and refreshments to follow after the race near the finish.

Guests are invited and encouraged to head to the College Park Day Festival for Post-Race entertainment, additional food and beverages, kids activities, and more starting at 11:00am and just down the street from the start of the College Park Cares 5k.
