Bailey's Annual Heart & Sole 5K Charity Run/Walk

Bailey's Annual Heart & Sole 5K Charity Run/Walk is set for October 25, 2026, in Bel Air, Maryland. The event offers one distance, a 5K that can be run or walked, and it goes off early at 6:45 a.m. That is an unusually early start for a 5K, so plan your alarm, your breakfast and your warm-up around it.

With a run/walk format, the distance suits almost everyone: a first race, a return after time off, or a hard hitout for someone already racing longer. If you want to run the whole thing, six weeks of three or four easy runs a week, one of them slightly longer, will get you to the line comfortably. Bring a light layer for the wait before the start.
