The Moonlight 5K and Twilight Kids Run presented by Brooks is the best way to spend a summer evening! 5K participants in this popular family-friendly event receive a race bib with chip timing, a finishers medal, glow bracelets, post-race food and drink, and a tech shirt from Brooks. Participants in the Twilight Kids Run will receive a race bib with chip timing, a special race-themed finisher ribbon, glow bracelets, and a ticket to redeem for a Kona ice!

Course Info:

The 5K route will start through the grounds of the Harford County Equestrian Center then loop around the former duck pond before an out-and-back towards Annie's Playground.  The paths are mostly paved with a few boardwalks and a small gravel section.  There is one water stop around Mile 1 which will be passed again around Mile 2.5.  It's important to stay to the right side of the path along the entire route.  In the event of rain, the boardwalks will be slippery so please be careful. Course is subject to change.
