SHEW's Annual Run for the Rescues 5K
The event is an annual 5K fun run held in Fulton, Maryland on October 25, 2026. It is organized to benefit Safe Haven Equine Warriors, a Maryland nonprofit that provides rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming, and educational outreach for horses that have suffered neglect, abuse, or abandonment. The event site is at Maple Lawn, 11600 Scaggsville Rd, with Cedar Lane Elementary School listed as an event location.
Proceeds from the event support veterinary care, feed, shelter, and rehoming efforts for rescued horses. The offering for participants includes a commemorative race shirt and a medal. The event features rescue ambassadors and onsite activities such as music and vendors, with family friendly programming noted.
The course distance is 5K and walkers are explicitly welcome. A Maple Lawn community waiver requires participants to release the Maple Lawn Homeowners Association from liability to the fullest extent allowed by Maryland law and states that participants are responsible for claims arising from their misuse or negligence on Association property. Organizers will post participant results automatically on race day if a participant connects a Twitter account. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
