Gingerbread Dash 5K - Hagerstown
The Gingerbread Dash is a holiday 5K held in downtown Hagerstown that benefits Girls on the Run Mid Maryland. The event uses the outfield at Meritus Park (Flying Boxcar stadium) for the start and finish and describes itself as a family-focused community run with both in-person and virtual options.
The race is open to the public and welcomes participants who run, walk, or roll. Each registrant receives an event t-shirt and a medal; unisex and women’s sizing are offered and registrants must sign up before November 13, 2026 to receive preferred shirt sizes. Virtual participants receive event merchandise by mail.
Registration fees vary by date, with lower fees in earlier registration windows and higher fees closer to the event. The site lists specific price ranges for in-person and virtual entries across multiple registration periods. There is no on-site parking at the venue, but nearby municipal parking is available and often free on Sundays.
Additional event features include a packet pickup location ahead of race day at the Girls on the Run office in Middletown and a race day packet pickup at the west gate. The Gingerbread Dash pairs with the Candy Cane Dash for linking medals and supports Girls on the Run’s program for elementary and middle school girls.
