Step Forward for Mental Health Awareness

Join us in May for Mindful Miles, a 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk dedicated to supporting Mental Health Awareness Month. This event is more than just a race — it’s a movement to bring our community together, break the stigma surrounding mental health, and remind one another that you are not alone.

Whether you run or walk, every step you take helps spark important conversations, foster understanding, and promote emotional well-being in Caroline County and our surrounding area. Together, we can create a safe, supportive space where people feel seen, heard, and encouraged to seek help when they need it most.

Join us in honoring the strength it takes to keep moving forward — for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for our community. Lace up, breathe deep, and take a mindful mile toward hope, healing, and awareness.

    Find a Blue Jean Mile Near You!

    This May, one mile can change everything. Put on your favorite pair of blue jeans and join us for the 6th annual ASICS Blue Jean Mile.

    In 2020, Johnny Gregorek set the first-ever Blue Jean Mile world record in honor of his late brother, Patrick. Six years later, what started as a personal tribute has become a tradition to raise awareness and funds to support mental wellness.

    The Motts 5 Miler is the second race of the FXBG Trail series. This trail race begins with a smooth, approachable start along Motts Run Reservoir — giving runners time to settle into their pace and find their rhythm before the course gradually reveals its character. The opening stretch is runnable and forgiving, setting you up for what’s to come.

    From there, the course features three main climbs that define the day. Each ascent brings its own personality — steady and sustained, short and punchy, and one final grinder that tests your grit. Altogether, runners will tackle 341 feet of total elevation gain, enough to make you work without overwhelming the legs.

    The descents are flowing and fun, offering opportunities to recover and carry momentum into the next section. This race strikes a perfect balance: approachable yet engaging, challenging but rewarding — a trail experience that keeps you honest while remaining accessible for a wide range of runners.
