Salt air, crashing waves, wildlife, and sunshine. What better backdrop for a charity 5K and 2-mile walk? This fun event is presented by Beachwood, Inc. Custom Builders and sponsored by Assateague State Park & MD Park Services. Best of all, every step raised will benefit the Macky & Pam Stansell House of Coastal Hospice. This event perfectly combined the beauty of Maryland’s stunning shoreline with the power of local support. Visit coastalhospice.org/coastal-walk-run to register, sponsor, or donate.

Registration will be $35 and includes a dri-fit long-sleeve shirt, and medals were awarded to the placing participants in each of the categories following the race. 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
