Kentlands/Lakelands 5K Run/Walk

This is the 33rd running of the Kentlands/Lakelands 5K Run, Walk, and Kid’s Fun Runs.  The 5K course winds through the beautiful Lakelands and Kentlands neighborhoods before heading down Main Street to the finish line. Every 5K registration comes with a Dri-Fit crew neck race shirt (men's, women's, and kid's sizes available). Enjoy our post-race Merchant's Expo area while meeting with your friends and family!

Live entertainment on the course - local bands set up along the course to delight participants and spectators alike, making what is already a spirited and fun event even livelier! The event finishes with the awards ceremony, team awards (lots of family options), and raffle items donated by local merchants. Cash prizes for the top three male and female finishers.

Kids runs includes two distances - 200 and 500 meters! Cotton t-shirt, designed by a local child resident, with each Fun Run registration and a Kids area for a fun time after their event.
