Description

Get ready to join the ultimate 5K experience—where the Force of Wellness will guide you on a journey like no other! On May 4th, 2025, lace up your sneakers and head to the Cross County Connector Trail for a scenic route with stellar views of the Kent Narrows. This isn’t just a race—it’s a mission to support a great cause.

This year’s 5K, “May the Force of Wellness Be with You,” is all about uniting for mental health awareness and well-being. Whether you run, walk, or do a little of both, every step supports Crossroads Community Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to helping those in need across five mid-shore counties on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Walk. Run. Heal.—choose your pace and move for mental health. For just $30, you’ll get an exclusive race shirt, and top finishers will earn the legendary Medal of Yavin! 🏅 Plus, you might even encounter special Star Wars guests—stay tuned for surprises! 💫

Feel free to embrace your inner Jedi, Rebel, or droid—costumes and Star Wars-inspired gear are encouraged (but not required)! Whether it’s a lightsaber, mask, or full galactic attire, show your support for mental health and have a blast. So, grab your gear (and your running shoes), channel your inner strength, and move with purpose—because the Force is strong with this one!

Please register by Monday, April 21, 2025, to guarantee you'll receive a race shirt on event day! We will have a limited number of extras available, but cannot guarantee one if you register after the deadline.
