15th Annual Red Shoe Shuffle 5k Run & Walk

The Red Shoe Shuffle 5k celebrates its 15th year in Baltimore with an event supporting families at the Ronald McDonald House. This event features a flat course through several prominent city neighborhoods and waterfront areas. Participants may enter as individuals or as part of a team.

Available distances:

  • 5k in-person running race
  • 5k virtual "Shuffle-at-Home" option

The 5k course begins at 1 Aisquith Street at the Ronald McDonald House. The route leads participants through Little Italy and continues along the Inner Harbor before returning to the starting facility. For those unable to attend in person, the "Shuffle-at-Home" registration allows participants to complete the distance from their own location.

Following the race, the Celebration Village provides on-site amenities for participants. This area includes food vendors, live music, and activities for all ages. Awards are presented during this post-race gathering. Registration is tiered by age, with specific categories for adults aged 13 and older and children aged 12 and under. The event has a history of reaching a maximum capacity of 3,000 participants and serves to support local families facing medical crises. Registration fees increase after the early-bird deadline on January 31. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
