St. Joseph PAVing the Way 5K

The St. Joseph PAVing the Way 5K is an inaugural running event held in Eldersburg, Maryland, starting and finishing at St. Joseph Catholic Church.

The course begins at the church, follows Martz Road, and winds through local neighborhoods before returning to the church, coinciding with the start of the St. Joseph Catholic Parish Block Party. The race supports PAVing the Way, a youth-focused initiative aiding young people transitioning from high school to adulthood through community support and guidance.

Youth 11 and under can run free with a paying adult. Participants registering early are guaranteed a race shirt, and proceeds benefit this meaningful youth program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
