    The Brandon Tolson Foundation presents "Miles of Smiles 5K or Stroll for Joel 1M" on Saturday, May 9, 2026 at Cedar Lane Park in Bel Air, MD. Race start time is 9:00 am.

    Come on out for a 5K Run/1Mile Stroll in memory of Joel

    In life, Joel’s hilarious antics brought endless laughter and countless smiles. What better way to honor his memory than sharing this joy with others as you run, walk, or stroll for Joel?

    In October 2018, at just 19 years old, Joel was tragically killed in a car accident. Like so many families who have experienced the sudden loss of a child, we were overwhelmed with shock and grief. During that unimaginably difficult time, the Brandon Tolson Foundation stepped in to provide support.

    Let’s come together to raise funds in Joel’s honor, ensuring the Brandon Tolson Foundation can continue providing vital emotional support and financial relief to families navigating life after the devastating loss of a child. With your help, we can offer grieving families the hope, healing, and resources they need during their darkest moments.

    Thank you for honoring Joel’s memory through your generous support.

    Escape the summer city heat and head for the mountains! Join us at Rocky Gap State Park in Flintstone, MD for the 22nd annual Rocky Gap Off-Road Triathlon, Duathlon, and Relay.

    The triathlon race course starts with a two lap swim in warm clear waters of a mountain lake and the duathlon starts with a 2.7 mile semi-technical trail run. After the first segment, all racers head out to complete two laps of a mountain bike course that includes twisty lakeside singletrack, wide fire roads, smooth grassy sections, and a few rock gardens. Once completing the mountain bike course, racers transition to a 5.5 mile run that has rooty trails, smooth open flats, and a few ups and downs (of course!). All in all, this course is super fun and has challenged thousands of newbies and seasoned vets over the years!
