4UBen 5k Walk/Run

We raise money from our Race to fund charitable efforts right here in our area, so this really is a neighborhood event. You run, have fun and help make your community a better place!

For the 10K: It is certified, for the serious runners. We plan to have course monitors to direct you to the turns from the Parkway. If you’re not familiar with the route, it is on our website.

For the 5K: The race start will begin immediately after the 10K begins. As before, the race route is only on the Parkway, measuring about 3.3 miles.

This 5 Mile event celebrates the awesomeness of outdoor recreation on the South River and supports the efforts of Arundel Rivers Federation! We are a gathering of novice and experienced swimmers & paddlers celebrating the efforts of these organizations and the impact they have on inclusive water access and sustainable rivers. Each participant is required to fundraise at least $100 in addition to their registration fee. The tools to help you reach the fundraising goal will be provided. Fundraisers who exceed $500 will have their registration fee reimbursed. .

Swimmers participate as pods. A pod is 2-4 similarly speeded swimmers. Every pod has a support boat with them. The Solo Swim All 5 Miles option allows for the pod to swim the entire distance with a dedicated paddler. Solo Pods may bring their own paddler, or request that option at check out. The Take a Turn Swim/Paddle pod functions as a relay, taking turns paddling. Swimmers may register with friends as a fully formed pod, or may register individually into one of our paced pods.

No speed pressures or equipment restrictions. Simply invigorating open water adventure with the friends you’ve got or the ones you’ll make! October is a perfect time of year to enjoy swimming & paddling the South River! The cool water temps (Mid – High 60s) and picturesque scenic shorelines collaborate for unforgettable memories! Our untimed events are executed with participant safety and enjoyment as top priorities. We work with community partners to bring experiences that connect you to the sports we love and to outdoor recreation in meaningful ways.

Walk for Life: Honoring the Journey, Celebrating the Strength

Join us for the Walk for Life, a community-centered event dedicated to breast cancer survivors, caregivers, and the loved ones we hold in our hearts. This is more than just a walk—it’s a movement of hope, healing, and unity. Whether you’re walking in celebration, remembrance, or support, every step tells a story.

This is not a 5K or a race. It’s a peaceful, powerful walk that invites people of all ages and abilities to come together and make every step count. As we walk side by side, we honor the strength of those who’ve battled breast cancer, support those currently in the fight, and remember those we’ve lost with love and purpose.

Event Highlights Include:

• Survivor & Caregiver Recognition: A heartfelt moment to honor those who inspire us with their strength and resilience.

• Tribute Wall & Photo Area: Share a name, a message, or a memory in honor of someone special.

• Pink Lane: Visit health vendors, enjoy wellness screenings (including blood pressure checks), and gather information and support.

• Stretch & Snack Zone: Warm up, cool down, and refuel with healthy bites.

• Kid Zone: Face painting, balloons, and activities to keep little walkers smiling.

• Motivation: Uplifting messages, and a community vibe you’ll never forget.

Whether you walk for a friend, a family member, yourself, or the future—you walk with purpose.

You walk in faith.

You walk with us.

Register Today! Early bird registration ends August 16th. Don’t miss the chance to be part of something meaningful.

Walk for Life—because together, we are stronger.
