Run Through the Grapevine 8k

Registration is now OPEN!

Save the Date for late autumn racing!

This fall, the Howard County Striders (HCS) are partnering with the Community Action Council (CAC) of Howard County to offer a unique two-part event:

Part 1: Head over to CAC’s website and sign up for the virtual Steps Forward fundraiser that begins September 1st and ends November 2nd.  Challenge yourself, or join a team, to raise awareness and help fund critical CAC programs. Turn your walk and run miles into measurable support.

Part 2: Sign up for HCS’s Run through the Grapevine on November 2nd featuring an 8 km (4.9mi) course weaving through fields, wooded single track, and the grapevines of Linganore Winery in Mt. Airy, Maryland.

You can sign up for one, the other, or both.  For those who participate in both, we encourage you to wear your Steps Forward shirt in person so we can celebrate and acknowledge you on race morning at the Winery.

One final and important note: there will be a non-perishable food drive on race morning benefitting the Howard County Food Bank, to help them stock up and prepare for the upcoming holiday season. 

Join us in this special partnership and help us lend a hand to families and individuals in need in our community.
