Lighthouse to Lock House

Lighthouse to Lock House is held in Havre de Grace, Maryland, on November 1, 2026. The event offers a single 5K, starting at 8:00 a.m., and takes its name from two of the town's landmarks.

One distance, one start time, an early Sunday morning: this is a straightforward 5K, and the simplicity is much of the appeal. Use it to find out where your fitness actually sits after a summer of easy miles, or to open an autumn block before you commit to something longer. If you have never raced 3.1 miles, run the first mile a touch slower than feels right and spend the last one finding out what is left. That pattern gives most first-timers both their best time and the least suffering.
