How to Register

Since 2009, the Maryland Half Marathon & 5K has welcomed thousands of runners and walkers across its finish line who are all running to fight cancer. Register now to help us reach this year's goal of $500,000 to support the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC).

You'll enjoy the fun of being part of a community whose members train together and support one another. Each participant will receive a race T-shirt and a medal. Not to mention, we put the FUN in fundraising. With our easy-to-use tools, you’ll hit your personal goal in no time.

Registration Options

The countdown to race day is on. Ready to head to the starting line? Register yourself or your team today!

All prices will increase starting at 12:00 AM on Friday, May 31. Race registration closes at 9:00 PM on Friday, May 31.

Register as an individual

Welcome to the start line! This fun and flexible race experience has two distance options. Register for either the half marathon (13.1 miles) or the 5K (3.1 miles). If you prefer not to run or walk but still want to help fight cancer, you may register as a fundraiser for free.

Create a team

Teams are an ideal way to amp up the fun! To get started, choose a team name, set a fundraising goal and select your distance (13.1 or 3.1 miles). Next, invite members to register under your team name. There’s no limit to the number of team members. On your mark, get set, GO!

Join a team

A team can be way more fun than running alone. Joining a team is a great way to build support and encourage each other across the finish line. Plus, there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. Find your team, sign up and you’ll be off and running in no time!
