3rd Annual Strides for Strength 5K & Fun Run

Join us Sunday, September 13, 2026 for the 3rd Annual Strides for Strength 5K & Fun Run at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, benefiting Giving Strength, Inc., a Maryland 501(c)(3) nonprofit funding research grants and building awareness for SELENON Related Myopathy, a rare congenital muscular dystrophy.

The timed 5K winds through McDonogh’s scenic campus and includes a half-kilometer stretch of packed gravel, with awards by age group and gender. Not racing? The untimed Fun Run is one lap around the track and is open to all ages. Every 5K participant receives a custom t-shirt, race bib, finisher medal, and breakfast voucher, and everyone is invited to the post-race celebration with music, snacks, face painting, and balloon animals. A virtual run option is also available.

Packet pickup and race-morning registration run from 8:00 to 9:15 AM; the 5K starts at 9:30 AM. Questions: info@givingstrengthinc.org
