About this race

Race Against Hunger & Homelessness In Laurel, MD

Together this Thanksgiving, we can #FightHunger, #FightHomelessness, and #FosterHope. Since 2004, this Thanksgiving morning tradition has drawn participants from across South Central Maryland and beyond. Each year, runners and walkers of all ages come out in the sun or rain, mild or cold, to support Laurel Advocacy & Referral Services, Inc. (LARS). The event raises money to help our neighbors fend off hunger, combat homelessness and achieve stability and self-sufficiency.
