5 events in Stevensville, Maryland

The weather was perfect for the 2025 HC5K! Clear, crisp with little to no wind. The 2026 5K will be run on Sunday, February 15, with the hopes the weather will be chilly and clear. The rain/snow date is Sunday, March 1st just in case Mother Nature does not cooperate this year.
