Sneakers & Sirens 5K - MD

Sneakers & Sirens 5K - MD is scheduled for April 11, 2027 in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Two options start at 9:00 a.m.: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a shorter 2K fun walk (about 1.2 miles).

Having a two-kilometer walk on the same program is what makes this one easy to enter with people who do not run. Nobody has to sit in the car for an hour, and everyone finishes in roughly the same window. For the 5K itself, a 9:00 a.m. start in mid-April in Maryland is comfortable enough that you can warm up properly without overheating — fifteen minutes of easy jogging plus three or four strides is the standard recipe. If you have been running through the winter, this is a reasonable place to see what that work is worth.
