After three years of virtual events due to the pandemic, the Maryland Half Marathon & 5K returns to Maple Lawn in Howard County on Saturday, June 10. The 15th annual race unites runners, walkers and supporters looking to improve the lives and outcomes of cancer patients. Net proceeds support cancer research and innovative care at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Participants can select from two distance options: the 13.1-mile half marathon and the 5K race. Registration is $75 for the half marathon and $40 for the 5K and includes an official race t-shirt, race medal and access to a runner’s dashboard. Non-runners are also encouraged to participate by raising funds or donating directly to an individual runner or team.

The Maryland Half Marathon & 5K has raised more than $6 million for research at the cancer center.
