Holy Redeemer Cardinal 5K and Half-Mile Fun Run
The Holy Redeemer Cardinal 5K and Half-Mile Fun Run is scheduled for March 21, 2026, in Kensington, Maryland, centered at the Holy Redeemer Catholic School and Church parking lot. The event is held every other spring and draws a large, multigenerational field of participants who start from the church parking area.
Distances offered:
- 5K Race
- Half-Mile Fun Run
The 5K course passes through Rock Creek Park and the Rock Creek Highlands neighborhood. Runners encounter a notable climb known as "The Hill" on Cedar Lane before turning back into the Holy Redeemer neighborhood. The Half-Mile Fun Run begins shortly after the 5K field departs and is presented as a run or walk for younger participants; each child receives a medal.
After the races, a post-race gathering takes place in the church parking lot and features refreshments and family-oriented entertainment. The event serves as a fundraiser and its proceeds benefit Holy Redeemer Catholic School. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
