The Ellicott City 5K & 10K is a scenic and community-focused road race held each spring near historic Ellicott City, offering runners the choice of a fast, well-organized 5K or a more challenging 10K. The paved course typically starts and finishes near the Oella area, winding through quiet roads with rolling terrain that rewards steady pacing and strong finishes. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, quality race production, and local support, the event attracts everyone from first-time runners to competitive athletes, making it a staple on the regional racing calendar and a great way to experience the charm and energy of the Ellicott City community.
MedStar Health's 22nd Annual CHS XC Turkey Trot is a time honored Catonsville tradition. A fun celebration of health, wellness, and family with a rich sense of community, our cross country style 1 mile family fun run (8:10am) and 5k (8:30am) offers something for everyone. Both races are chip timed. Due to the nature of our course, strollers and pets are not allowed in either race.
Our race is unique in that 100% of our proceeds go to the CHS Cross Country program, including the purchase of uniforms, training tools, and travel expenses, and the philanthropy causes we support. When you participate in our race you are also giving back to your local community. For a complete list of donations made, please visit www.CatonsvilleTurkeyTrot.com.
