About the Event

Run for the Park on Earth Day!

Join us in beautiful Patterson Park for a feel-good, do-good morning at our Earth Day 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run! Whether you’re racing for a PR or strolling in costume as your favorite park animal, this event is all about celebrating nature, community, and giving back.

The timed 5K kicks off at 8:30 AM with Road and Trail Events handling chip timing, followed by our family-friendly 1-mile fun run. Stick around after the finish line for breakfast, music, and hands-on volunteer activities like mulching, weeding, and park cleanup. Every step you take (and dollar raised!) supports Friends of Patterson Park’s stewardship programs that keep this historic green space thriving.

About Baltimore

Slices of American history are around every corner in Baltimore. Maryland's largest city is a gritty old seaport town that's perhaps most famous as the site of Fort McHenry, where, at the height of the War of 1812, the sight of a tattered but defiant American flag flying over the harbor, despite a furious British bombardment, inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that was later adapted into the U.S. national anthem "Star-Spangled Banner". Nowadays, Baltimore's nonstop nightlife, temperate climate, tradition of hospitality, and cultural attractions — not to mention its prime location on the juncture of Chesapeake Bay — made it one of the major tourist destinations of the Mid-Atlantic region.
