About the race
The Long Branch 5K Fun Run & Walk is a community 5K event at Long Branch Garland Park in Takoma Park, MD. The event brings together runners, walkers, neighbors, families, and local businesses and raises funds for Long Branch Main Street, the Long Branch Business League, and the annual Long Branch Festival. The 2026 edition includes several changes: the course route has been updated to run along Kennebec Ave instead of Houston Ave, a new Masters division has been added for participants age 50 and over, and a prize for the largest registered team will be awarded as a gift card redeemable at the Post-Race Victory Brunch. A packet pick-up party is scheduled at El Golfo Restaurant on Thursday, November 5, where participants receive race packets and long-sleeve shirts; Happy Hour and dinner specials will be offered. On race morning, onsite registration and packet pickup are available for those who need them.
Parking is available at the Long Branch Community Center. Awards from local Long Branch businesses will be presented to top finishers in multiple categories, including overall men and women, Masters (50+), and kids 13 and under. A Post-Race Victory Brunch will take place at El Gavilan Restaurant with breakfast items and beverages. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
