2 Mile Walk or 5K Run at Assateague State Park

Lace up your sneakers and get ready for a morning of fun, fitness, and community spirit! On Saturday, October 17, 2026, Beachwood, Inc. Custom Builders is proud to present the annual Coastal Walk & 5K Run at the breathtaking Assateague State Park. Best of all, every step taken benefits the Macky & Pam Stansell House of Coastal Hospice.

Sponsored by Assateague State Park & Maryland Park Services, this event combines the beauty of Maryland’s shoreline with the power of local support. Whether you’re a seasoned runner chasing your next personal best or a family looking to stroll the scenic course together, the Coastal Walk & 5K Run offers something for everyone.

Participants can choose to compete (or not) in a 2-mile Walk or 5K Run at this year’s event at Assateague State Park (campground – day use – 6915 Stephen Decatur Hwy, Berlin, MD). Arrive at 8:00 AM for registration, refreshments, and music with a 9:00 AM start. Course map and details below.

Registration includes a dri-fit long-sleeve shirt, and medals will be awarded to the placing participants in each of the categories following the race. Registration for this event is $35 per participant, with Sponsorship Opportunities available.

All ages welcome…bring the whole family! We are excited to have our furry friends run or walk alongside you as long as they are friendly and leashed. Due to plants that have thistles, a lot of participants put shoes on their dogs.

 

The Macky & Pam Stansell House is committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and compassionate place for hospice patients who cannot safely manage their care at home. Located on the Isle of Wight Bay in Ocean Pines, Maryland, our inpatient facility provides the dignity of hospice care with the comforts of home.

Course Map

The 5k course will start on the paved bike path, for approximately one (1) mile and then move on to the beach, for the remainder of the event. Participants will be able to run down near the water’s edge (hard sand) or up NEAR (but not on) the dunes for soft sand.

The 2 mile walk will be completely on the paved bike path and will be an out-and-back course
