McKenzie Strong 5K Walk and Run - 2026
The McKenzie Strong 5K Walk and Run is a community fundraising event held in Owings Mills, Maryland on May 30, 2026. The event is centered on a 5K walk or run and is listed at 10999 Red Run Blvd., Suite 100, Owings Mills, MD 21117.
The event was created after a 16 year old dancer experienced a rare spinal stroke that left significant loss of mobility on one side of the body and required relearning how to walk. The race emphasizes resilience and support for families facing similar medical challenges.
Now in its third year, the event has an explicit fundraising purpose. In the previous year the organizers exceeded a $2,500 goal and donated $5,000 to the American Stroke Association. For 2026 the stated fundraising goal is $10,000 to support families affected by stroke and to help provide resources and encouragement.
Registration information provided for this edition shows a fee of $15.00 and registration open and close dates in late April through May 2026. The event format is a listed walk and run over the distance of 5K, with proceeds directed toward stroke-related support and resources.
