2027 Maryland New Years 5k, 10k, & 15k
The event on January 2, 2027 takes place at Maryland Sportsplex (South Germantown Recreational Park) in Boyds, MD. It offers three distances and awards points toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k, and Back of the Pack series, and toward the Winter Series. A virtual race option is available.
Distances:
- 5k one loop around the sportsplex
- 10k two loops of the 5k course
- 15k three loops of the 5k course
The paved course runs around the sportsplex and includes rolling hills. Water stations are placed roughly every 1.5 to 1.6 miles: the 5k has one station, the 10k has three stations, and the 15k has five stations; Gatorade is available at some stations. Restrooms are located inside the park.
Runners receive a finisher medal, a technical Drifit event shirt, and chip timing. Live results are posted on Athlinks and via an on-site QR code; final results with series points are posted the Monday after the race. Packet pickup is available at the event and race day registration is offered, though race day t-shirt sizes are not guaranteed.
The event supports Warrior Canine Connection, a national nonprofit based in Boyds, MD that trains service dogs for Veterans and provides programs at no cost to participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
