GPS Cross Country 5K
The Baltimore Road Runners Club stages the 5K GPS Cross Country at Herring Run Park on November 15, 2026. The event is free to enter; donations are accepted for a scholarship fund for college freshmen or to Friends of Herring Run Parks. It is listed as the final Grand Prix Series race of the year.
The course uses an XC style start with open field running to spread participants. It deviates from the local high school course and includes a mix of paved sections, open field, and technical single-track. Participants cross the river twice and run through wooded areas. Road shoes are acceptable in many sections, but some technical parts may benefit from trail shoes.
The published start location is along Belair Road on the Chesterfield side near the muraled shed; attendees are advised to park on Belair or Chesterfield Road and walk to the start near the Herring Run bridge on the Chesterfield side upstream of the bridge. The club notes that the course has many turns in a tight space and requests volunteers to help manage the route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
