2026 Salute the Troops 5k & 10k
This event offers two road running distances that take place at the Glenn Dale Community Center in Glenn Dale, Maryland. Points from the event count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k, and Back of the Pack series and toward the Fall Series.
Distances
- 5 km: out and back once on a paved, mostly flat route.
- 10 km: out and back twice on the same paved route.
The course is paved and flat with a slight decline on the way out. Water stations are placed along the course: one station on the 5 km and three stations on the 10 km at approximately mile markers 1.55, 3.10, and 4.65. Gatorade will be available at some water stations. Restrooms are available inside the community center.
Runners receive a finisher medal, a technical event shirt, and chip timing. T shirt sizes are guaranteed for runners registered before October 28; extras may be available after that date on a first come first served basis. Packet pickup is available at the event and race day registration is offered, though T shirt sizes cannot be guaranteed for race day registrants.
Results are provided live on Athlinks and final results with series points are posted to the organizer’s website after the event. The event supports the Code of Support Foundation, a nonprofit that provides cost free one on one support to military and veteran families for housing, financial assistance, employment, and mental health.
