From the Organizer
Ready, Set, GLOW! Join us on October 16th, 2026 for Screech's Night Owl 5K & 1 Mile Fun Walk at Harford Community College! This fun event takes place at 7:00 PM in the evening to allow our runners the opportunity to wear glow items, glow in the dark clothing, etc. All proceeds from the event support Athletic Scholarships for Student Athletes at Harford Community College.
At Harford Community College, our student athletes are at the top of their game, on and off the court and field. By participating in one of Harford's thirteen NJCAA sports, they make a commitment to excel not only in their sport, but in the classroom. Harford's student athletes accomplish great things during their time with us and beyond–they excel at giving back to the community and many of our students transfer to a university to play at the NCAA level and earn a bachelor's degree.
For questions or to see how you can get involved, please contact Jen Palinkas: jpalinkas@harford.edu for additional information.
