The CARE 5k/10K walk run began in 2009 and has become a yearly favorite since. This is our 17th year!
The CARE 5K Walk or Run and 10K Run are an out and back race that is mostly road for the 5K and the 10K has a mix of road and trail. The race begins at 8:00 and finishes around 9:30. Awards are given to winners in ages groups in 10 year increments which are CARE dollars from our $300 level sponsors and will happen at 9:15 am. All participants will be timed! Race shirts are included and come in unisex and youth sizes, guaranteed sizes if you register before June 20th. Adult registration is $35 and children 17 and under is $25. Water will be on the course and at the finish line with post race snacks. New this year, all participants will recieve a filled water bottle at the end of the race donated by Camp David Realty!

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
