Festival at Bel Air 5K
About this race
Welcome to the Festival at Bel Air 5K!
Lace up and join us on the morning of Saturday, October 3, 2026 for the inaugural Festival at Bel Air 5K, a feel-good community celebration right in the heart of Bel Air, Maryland.
Whether you're chasing a personal best, walking with friends, or bringing the whole family out for the 1K, this is your morning. We're bringing together runners, neighbors, local businesses, and community advocates for an event that's as much about connection as it is about competition.
And it's all for a cause that hits close to home. Every registration and every donation directly benefits Harford Family House, Harford County's largest provider of shelter and support for families and individuals experiencing homelessness. Driven by compassion, Harford Family House helps our neighbors achieve lasting independence through housing, resources, and the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Your entry fee. Your donation. Your presence. It all makes a difference.
