ASICS Independence Day 4-Miler presented by Independent Brewing Company

The Moonlight 5K and Twilight Kids Run presented by Brooks is the best way to spend a summer evening! 5K participants in this popular family-friendly event receive a race bib with chip timing, a finishers medal, glow bracelets, post-race food and drink (one free beer from Independent Brewing Company - 21+), and a tech shirt from Brooks. Participants in the Twilight Kids Run will receive a race bib with chip timing, a special race-themed finisher ribbon, glow bracelets, and a ticket to redeem for a Kona ice!

Costumes and colorful clothing are encouraged!

Welcome to the 12th annual Catch-A-Pig (CAP) 5K – this is a great opportunity to have a unique race experience AND support The Boys & Girls Club of Harford County!

The race is an out-and-back along the MA & PA Trail. 1K Bacon Stroll walkers are invited to join in the fun!

The kicker: THIS IS A CHASE! We’ll have young runners dressed in pink pig shirts (a.k.a. "the piglets"). They will have a three minutes head start on the adult runners. Those who pass at least one of the piglets before crossing the finish line get their name into a special drawing for prizes. BUT LOOK OUT! There are also a few BIG, BAD WOLVES who will get a late (seven minute) jump on you. If they all pass you, you'll lose the opportunity for the special drawing

All proceeds after costs will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford and Cecil Counties.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 AND WANT TO BE ONE OF OUR PIGLETS: We are accepting runners under the age of 13 to take off first. These young ones get a FREE pig t-shirt.

Bring your pup! Sign him/her up to join you (sign them up under the dog option). Dogs must be registered (just $10) and on a leash.
