Savage 7K

Savage 7K takes place in Savage, Maryland, on October 25, 2026. The main event is a 7K, about 4.3 miles, starting at 8:00 a.m. and passing through local parks, neighborhoods, and scenic corners of the town. A 1-mile guided tour walk follows at 8:05, taking in landmark buildings and the town's history along the way.

A 7K is an unusual length and that is part of its appeal: nobody has a personal best to defend, so you can run it as a hard, honest effort somewhere between 5K and 10K pace without overthinking it. It also makes a tidy fitness check in the middle of a fall block. The walk is the better option if you would rather learn something than race. Homemade baked goods and community festivities follow, and proceeds go toward the restoration and upkeep of Carroll Baldwin Hall, a historic building more than a century old.
