Independence Day 5K

Join Blue Cheetah as we celebrate the Independence Day holiday and weekend with our 5th annual Independence Day 5K - on Saturday July 5, 2025. Run or Walk 5K or 1M on our certified course in Aberdeen, MD.  Race starts and ends at Festival Park. 8:00 am start time

As we are approaching a sell out event, some of our shirt sizes are no longer available; please choose from among the remaining shirt sizes. We will have a "shirt swap" after the start of the race on Saturday so those of you who did not receive your size of choice can see if there is a better size available for you. There will be no swaps at packet pickup. 

Packet mail-outs and Virtual race packets will be mailed approximately one week pror to race day.  All packets have been shipped and delivered.

Early Packet Pickup will take place at Charm City Run* in Bel Air (126 S. Main St. Bel Air, MD) on Wednesday, July 2 from 4 - 7 pm. Thanks to all who came out to pick up early!

Race day packet pickup will begin at 6:30 am at the Festival Park Pavilion
