Gingerbread Dash 5K - Hagerstown
The Gingerbread Dash is a 5K running event with an optional virtual 5K held in downtown Hagerstown, Maryland. The course starts and finishes on the outfield at Meritus Park (Flying Boxcar stadium). The event benefits Girls on the Run Mid Maryland, a nonprofit that concludes each season with a celebratory 5K for its teams.
The event is open to the public and described as accessible. Participants may run, walk, or roll the course. The Gingerbread Dash serves as a companion race to the Candy Cane Dash; participants who complete both can receive linking medals. The event encourages festive dress and brings a holiday theme to the downtown Hagerstown setting. The race has been presented for multiple years and is listed as the fourth year in downtown Hagerstown.
Registration is offered for in-person and virtual participants, with fees that change by registration period; listed price ranges are approximately $30 to $48 plus platform fees. Packet pickup includes an early pickup at the Girls on the Run office and race-day pickup at the west gate. Each registrant receives an event t-shirt and a medal; virtual registrants receive event merchandise by mail. Preferred shirt sizing requires registration by November 13, 2026. The event is supported by Meritus Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
