The North East Triathlon is an amazing race in a beautiful location. Just minutes from I-95, a Chesapeake Bay time trial swim and well paved country roads along Elk Neck State Forest make this a great race. The course is low traffic, hilly and technical in places, but has plenty of straightaways and beautiful views. The run course is a lightly rolling, out and back course on the shoulder heading south of town. This Chesapeake Bay waterfront town is worth a weekend away, there are plenty of boats, parks, restaurants and roads to explore.
We know you will love this race, watch our race video to learn more.

A Ten Sisters of Dewey Beach Road Race Series Event
Dave was a proud Dewey Beach homeowner who passed away suddenly of an undiagnosed cardiac arrhythmia just before his 29th birthday. His compassion for others and his desire to live life to the fullest made a lasting impression on everyone he met. His family and friends would like to create a means to spread awareness about the risks of irregular heartbeat, support the DE beach community by donating defibrillator machines and associated training, and hands only CPR education to community organizations and small businesses.
Past race proceeds have enabled us to donate 19 AED machines to local businesses, necessary to shock a stoped heart back to a normal rhythm. This includes an AED tower available 24/7 in Dewey on the bay side boardwalk area.
Please help us expand the number of hearts protected through your race participation and/or donation. Thanks in advance!

August 22, 2026 – Saturday
Dewey Beach, DE
A Ten Sisters of Dewey Beach Road Race Series Event
With August temperatures and humidity soaring, we are offering a great way to get a 5K run in! This indoor 5K takes place entirely inside the mall!
Perfectly timed with both Maryland tax-free week and back-to-school shopping, not only can you hit the halls of Arundel Mills, you can stop in for great specials at all of their retailer before or after your run!
Last race we had great specials from Hey Dude, Under Armour, Nike, Lindt Chocolate, Auntie Anne's, Medieval Times, Nandos, Merritt Athletics, and more! Stay tuned to hear who will be participating this summer.
Choose between completing multiple loops for the full 5K or opting for our family‑friendly fun run or walk, featuring a shorter distance perfect for kids and new runners. This race takes place before the mall opens! It won't be a great course for setting a personal best, but we can promise it will be a fun and unique one!
All finishers will receive a medal.
This race is hard capped. If you can still sign up, there is space! Once we hit our cap, we will have to welcome you next year! Strollers are only allowed during the Fun Run/Walk
Sunday Morning Check-In Time:
Elite Runners: 8:00 AM
5K: 8:40 AM
Fun Run/Walk: 9:45 AM
Post-Race Activities!
After you cross the finish line, stick around for post‑race activities, including fitness demos, recovery stretches, training tips, and workout ideas for all ages.
Packet Pick-Up
Bib, swag, and shirts will be handed out before the race! If you have not received it, please arrive by 7:30 AM for Elite Runners, 8:00 AM for the 5K, and 9:15 for the Fun Run/Walk.
Reminder- this is a cupless race! Waters will not be handed out. We have dozens of water fountains on site and want to ensure the floors stay as dry as possible. Please bring a container with a lid for your water.
Swag and Giveaways
All participants receive both a finisher's medal and a shirt! Check in for the swag bag our retailers and partners provide, including giveaways, raffles, promos, and discounts at Arundel Mills stores! Shirts are not guaranteed for runners who sign up after 8/1.
Hydration Station
In order to keep the floors as dry as possible, there will only be a water station at the start/finish line that racers will pass as they go around the mall. While water/drinks are allowed on the course, there will be no water cups while on the course except for water at the food court. The mall has several restrooms available throughout the course that have water fountains. Running with a cup without a lid is not permitted, but running with water or other fluids is permitted as long as it closes (water bottle, camelbak, sports bottle, etc.)
What to Bring
Your own water, bags, and gear are fine to bring! We will have waves starting/finishing in the food court that will provide plenty of tables and chairs to store your items. We cannot allow pets, selfie sticks, glass, or weapons. Note that neither Arundel Mills nor Peake Events is responsible for lost belongings.
Parking and Entrance Recommendation
The closest parking would be the Maryland Live Casino parking garage (free), and use the Food Court Entrance. Nando Peri Peri is located next to that Food Court entrance for reference.
Distance Disclaimer
Please note: Course distance and start times may adjust slightly based on registration numbers and logistics. Waved starts will help ensure plenty of space for running through the mall corridors. The 5k course will be four laps around the mall and is ~1/10th of a kilometer longer than an exact 5K.
Strollers and Children Note
The 5K race will have runners completing four laps around the mall, making for tight spots, especially in two sections that require a small ramp to go up/down. Runners can also opt to run up and down the three stairs as they see fit. Strollers will only be allowed during the Fun Run/walk and must start at the back. Any child participating in the 5K should be able to maintain a jogging pace and stick to the right-hand side of the course. We love kids, but know they like to take off and run around without always looking around their surroundings. Please ensure your child is both old enough for the 5K and can follow proper race etiquette. We invite everyone to join the Fun Run/Walk!
Sponsorships are available - Please contact [email protected]
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.
Run the vines in 2026 and join us at one of our most popular summer races, hosted by Charm City Run and our friends at Boordy Vineyards! Not only will registrants enjoy a beautiful golden hour run through the vineyard and surrounding area, but each participant will receive a soft short sleeve shirt and a souvenir wine glass (with a complimentary fill for registrants 21+). Kick back and relax after the race with your hard-earned glass of wine, live music, snacks, and food trucks. Register now to save your spot. We look forward to seeing you!
parkrun is such a simple concept: turn up every Saturday and volunteer, walk, jog or run 5k.

Registration opens at 7:30 AM for the early categories and classes (Endurance / Pro / Cat 1).
We kindly ask that you do not try to register or check in prior to 7:30 AM. While we do wake up at the crack of dawn (and maybe question our life choices somewhere around that first cup of coffee), it takes us a bit of time to get everything set up and ready to go for you.
If you arrive before 7:30, you’ll likely find us still unloading, organizing, and possibly untangling a few things—so save yourself the wait and give us just a little time to get race-ready!
Cat 2s and 3s, you are welcome to check in after the first wave of racers has been taken care of. We promise we'll get everyone through smoothly. Thanks so much for your understanding.

If you can't make the rain date, consider buying refund insurance when you register (cannot be purchased retroactively).

In the event of postponement or cancellation, registration fees will not be refunded by the event organizer unless you have purchased the $6 Refund Insurance with your entry fee. This optional purchase is offered under “EVENT ITEMS.” BikeReg platform fees and the insurance fee are not refunded.
NO INSURANCE = NO REFUND if we have to postpone or cancel the event.
Refund Insurance is a smart purchase for those who know they CANNOT make the rain date.
You are allowed to TRANSFER your entry to someone else, before online registration closes, for the original transaction entry amount. You must coordinate with your replacement, who can choose any category in the event, and your replacement pays the difference in price of entry fee, if applicable.

Please join us on our 4th Annual All Clubs Ladies Ride to shine a light on Heart Health. The cycling community in Maryland along with some of our sister clubs in surrounding areas have come together this year to do one all clubs ladies' ride to show solidarity across all the clubs. The theme for this year's ride will be Heart Health as heart disease kills more women than ALL forms of cancer combined and also kills more than 50,000 women of color annually. The event rolls rain or shine. We will be at Pavillion West.
In honor of Heart Health, we are asking all women to wear red.
Lunch will be provided and there will be Vegan and Vegetarian options available
Registration includes: Lunch, Rest-Stop Refreshments, T-shirt, and a charitable donation.
T-shirts will be available at registration pickup to all participants who register prior to August 13, 2026. After that date, t-shirt availability will be on a first come first serve basis based on what we have left.
There will be 2 ride distances: Approximately 33mile and 21mile
We want everyone to return close to the same time so we ask that you pick your route accordingly based on your skill level. There will be SAG provided for the both routes; however, SAG will be for bike malfunctions only. Please make sure your bike is in good working order prior to the ride. There will be bike mechanics on-site prior to the ride so if you are unsure of the condition of your bike, we encourage you to get it checked prior to the ride if you have not already done so prior to the day of the event. These mechanics will be available on a first come first serve basis and can not guarantee they can repair all bikes prior to the start of the ride. There are a few rollers and we want to make sure everyone rides and returns safely. You are responsible for having your own tire change supplies as SAG will be there to assist with tire changes and mechanical issues only. If you have not been riding your bike but still want to participate in the ride, please be on the lookout for clinics
that will be held prior to the event.
PLEASE CHECK BACK CLOSER TO THE EVENT DATE FOR UPDATED ROUTES
Standard Description
2026 HEAT IS HERE!General: Running + Beer + BBQ = Be there! 25k or 50k all trail, and a great after-party! The trails are technical and challenging, yet approachable because of our generous 25k cutoffs (we don't really have one). A great course to hike, run, or both. The after party will include craft beer, great food, and general fun! The 50k is a challenging attempt - you should honestly feel like a King when you finish it - but always able to downgrade to the 25k during the event. Location and Parking:The location of the start/finish is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/spE6anGbkiAebMTT8Shelter # 707. There will be directions regarding parking when you enter the Pickall Area of the park off of Johnnycake Rd. There is parking on-site and we have a good number of parking spots, however, they are not unlimited. Whenever possible, please plan to carpool with other athletes running the race, or if you have friends or family coming to watch, have them come with you to ensure we have enough spots for everyone, particularly our race participants.There are bathrooms that are adjacent to the pavilions where we will be hosting the race. Start Time:The 50k will start at 7am The 25k will start at 9amCourse: The course consists of rolling single track with two river crossings. There is a very short paved section through a parking area, but other than that, you will not touch pavement on this course. You will get 2000ft+ of vertical gain with a couple of healthy climbs. Some of the course is very technical and rocky, but there are other smooth and runnable sections. Variety is the name of the game on this course.There are 3 areas of the course that involve out-and-backs. The first involves the climb to Valley Overlook, a stunning view overlooking the valley. There you will pick up a wrist band (50k athletes will end up with 2 wrist bands). You need to show us the wrist band at the finish line to get credited with a finish, but then the bands are yours to keep! The other 2 out-and-backs or short sections that will take you to our aid stations on the back half of the course. These are mandatory out-and-backs, and our aid station volunteers will be checking off bib numbers to ensure completion. Here is a link to the course on Strava. This is the OFFICIAL race course: https://www.strava.com/routes/3308117812416047072Aid Stations:Aid stations will occur at approximately:2 miles 5.25 miles8 miles11.5 miles16 milesAll aid stations will have Tailwind and Water as well as standard fair, both sweet and savory to keep you going. Everything at the aid stations will be real food, we will not have gels, etc. so if that is your preference make sure to carry them. Finish:At the finish we party. We pride ourselves on having a great spread of food and beers to help you refuel and celebrate your hard work. There will be access to bathrooms, water, and plenty of shelter under our two large pavilions. Event details at: https://www.mdheatraces.com/Join the Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/mdheatrace/
50k Info
Many will do the 25k, though the ultra 50k is growing more popular each year. The 50k consists of 2 loops of the 25k course. The aid stations will be the same and located at the same intervals. It is required to pick up a wrist band at the top of the Valley Overlook climb EACH LOOP, so you will have two wrist bands at the end to officially complete the course. We do not have very strict cutoffs for the event, however, we cannot let 50k competitors out for a second loop if they complete the first loop after 12pm NOON. So basically athletes are allotted 5 hours per loop. Athletes should be able to access the park starting at 6am. The race kicks off at 7am sharp.
Parking
As mentioned above, we have fairly ample, but not unlimited parking. The parking is adjacent to the pavilions and start/finish line. Please carpool if at all possible.
Volunteers
Volunteers:We are ALWAYS looking for volunteers to help us put on a great event. If you, or anyone you know is interested in helping out, you can reach out to me at [email protected] or fill out his volunteer form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17btlttcapWRWeMJxQWHVuDQjF1qTo7iihsZaHnOo5mU/edit
Event's current local time: 4:14 AM ET

parkrun is such a simple concept: turn up every Saturday and volunteer, walk, jog or run 5k.
Run a brand new course that is a fast, flat, paved path through the jersey forest just minutes from Sea Isle City, Avalon, and Stone Harbor. In support of the Atlantic Cape Foundation that supports community college students in Cape May you'll run a HALF MARATHON, 10, or 5 Kilometer race on a mostly tree lined and fully supported course in Cape May Court House, NJ. Bring it!
The Half Marathon course consists of four loops. Every loop will be timed in real time! It’s a great way to build on your long run and enjoy a mid-summer race day!
The 10 K and 5 K races are on a 3.1 M loop. The 10 K athletes will have to run it 2 times and 5K will run it 1 time...so you'll have maximum fan support!

JOIN US TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
We're back for another year!
Cyclocross season is just around the corner, and now is the time to start preparing!
We'll have programs for both beginner and experienced racers alike!
Just like on race day, the clinic will be held rain or shine.
Beginners Group
This is for the true CX beginner. Sign up here if one (or more) of these describe you:
You've been curious about giving cyclocross a try but didn't know where to start.
You've raced for three or fewer seasons and haven't upgraded past Cat 4 yet.
We'll cover everything you need to get started: equipment, race day prep, fundamental skills, training strategies, and more.
There is a nominal registration fee for this field. We've done our best to keep the price as low as possible for beginners - come give cyclocross a try!
If you don't have a USA Cycling racing license, you will need a one-day license ($15) for this event. You can purchase this at checkout.
Experienced Group
Already have experience on the course, but looking for a refresher on skills or want feedback on what you're already doing? We'll have experienced, pro-racer coaches working with you in small groups to get ready for the season. Sign up for this if you feel like you've got the basics down, have a few seasons under your belt, or don't otherwise fit into the Beginner category.
Not sure what to register for?
Reach out to us using the “Contact Us” link below and we'll figure it out with you!
FAQ
This is the perfect opportunity to give it a try! The Beginners group will cover everything you need to give racing a try, plus the fundamental skills you will use in all of your races. We'll also provide ongoing resources throughout the season to help you progress.
Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to host juniors at this clinic. All participants must be 18 years old on the date of the event (NOT racing age). Fortunately, there are some great resources in the DC-Baltimore area for junior racers. Check out Rock Creek Velo (RCV) and Baltimore Youth Cycling (BYC) for programs they are running.
While a cyclocross bike is great, don't worry if you don't have one. Gravel bikes are also great for cyclocross, as are mountain bikes. If you have a hybrid style bike, that can also be great. Road bikes don't generally have the greatest clearance for the bigger tires used in cyclocross. A lot of people race with clipless pedals (which are great), but flat pedal are also great. But if you're not sure what you have will work (or if you don't yet have the perfect bike), reach out to us and we'll figure something great out! Bikes are great!
One of the main goals of this clinic is to get new people into the sport, so we are subsidizing the beginner fee. (If you think you're being clever by registering for the beginner level to save a few bucks, don't worry - we'll be checking Cross Results.) ;)
Contact us using the link below and we'll figure it out. But in general, the beginner group is really just for those who are starting their journey in cyclocross - Cat 4/Novice and have raced 3 or fewer seasons. If you've already upgraded to Cat 3 (or beyond), or have more than 3 years of racing experience, that's probably not you, so go ahead and register for the experienced group. The main difference will be the subsidized registration fee - if you end up being a better fit for the beginner group, we'll shuffle things around day-of to make sure you get the most out of the experience!
The registration fee covers the insurance and permit fees for USAC. We'll also be providing lunch and some snacks. And we'll have a professional mechanic on hand to deal with any bike troubles. And we want to help cover our coaches’ travel and incidental expenses. Anything left over will go toward further encouraging the growth of the local cyclocross scene. As many have learned, there's no money to be made in local cyclocross - it's all for the love of the sport. (And as a wise woman has said, “If I end up paying someone $80 to force me to practice for 8 hours, that's money well spent.”)
Yes! All participants will need a current USA Cycling (USAC) license! If you've had one previously and it's expired, now is a great time to renew. And if you've never had one, you can get a novice one-day license during registration.
We'll have a mix of short lessons, followed by on-the-bike practice. Skills covered will include race starts, dismounts and remounts, cornering techniques, barriers, bike shouldering, and hand-ups. More advanced racers may cover additional skills, like bunny hopping, as time allows. We'll also spend some time during lunch talking about bikes/tires/tech, training, nutrition, and race-day prep.
The clinic is being put on by folks from Crosshairs Cycling Club and Bluemont Connection Cyclocross, as well as a choice selection of Mid-Atlantic cyclocross heavy hitters for coaching expertise.
Our coaches this year will be:
Rachel Rubino (Haute Factory Racing)
Cole Oberman (Haute Factory Racing)
Kelly Roberson (Haute Factory Racing)
Mike Birner (Sportif Coaching Group)
Taylor Jones (Crosshairs Cycling)
Craig Etheridge (C3 Wagner Roofing)
