Cancer Warriors 5k

The Cancer Warriors 5k is an annual fundraising event held in Bel Air, Maryland, along the scenic Ma & Pa Trail. The 9th edition, scheduled for September 20, 2025, features a 5-kilometer out-and-back course starting at the trailhead near Independent Brewery, which also hosts the post-race afterparty. The route includes crossing streams and passing under Route 24, with a turnaround near the Tollgate Road underpass.

Participants can run in person or virtually anytime between September 1 and 20, with options to add a commemorative t-shirt. All proceeds support cancer research through this nonprofit event, fostering a supportive and community-driven atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
