About the race
The 2027 Maryland Fireworks 5k & 10k takes place on July 5, 2027 at Martin Luther King Jr. Recreational Park in Silver Spring, Maryland. The event uses paved park routes and the Paint Branch Trail and moves into wooded trails that provide shade and include a few rolling hills.
Distances include:
- 5k
- 10k
The 10k course has three water stations at about mile markers 1.55, 3.1, and 4.65. The 5k course has one water station at about mile marker 1.55. Gatorade is available at some water stations. The event is chip timed; participants receive a finisher medal and a technical (DriFit) event shirt.
Points earned here count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k, and Back of the Pack series and toward the Summer Series. A virtual race option is available for those who cannot attend in person. Packet pickup is available at the event and race day registration is offered; T-shirt sizes are guaranteed for registrations completed before June 23, with limited extras afterward.
Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to top finishers by age groups.
