2 Mile Walk or 5K Run at Assateague State Park

Lace up your sneakers and get ready for a morning of fun, fitness, and community spirit! On Saturday, October 18, 2025, Beachwood, Inc. Custom Builders is proud to present the annual Coastal Walk & 5K Run at the breathtaking Assateague State Park.

Sponsored by Assateague State Park & Maryland Park Services, this event combines the beauty of Maryland’s shoreline with the power of local support. Whether you’re a seasoned runner chasing your next personal best or a family looking to stroll the scenic course together, the Coastal Walk & 5K Run offers something for everyone.

Best of all, every step taken benefits the Macky & Pam Stansell House of Coastal Hospice, a state-of-the-art inpatient hospice that has provided comfort and dignity to patients and families for over 45 years across our Lower Eastern Shore.

Participants can choose to compete (or not) in a 2-mile Walk or 5K Run at this year’s event on Saturday, October 18th, at Assateague State Park (campground – day use – 6915 Stephen Decatur Hwy, Berlin, MD). Arrive at 8:00 AM for registration, refreshments, and music with a 9:00 AM start.

Registration includes a dri-fit long-sleeve shirt, and medals will be awarded to the placing participants in each of the categories following the race. Registration for this event is $30 per participant, with Sponsorship Opportunities available.

Additional Details!

The 5k course run will start on the paved bike path for approximately one mile and then move on to the beautiful sandy beach for the remainder of the run. Participants will be able to run down near the water’s edge (hard sand) or up near (but not on) the dunes for soft sand.

The 2-mile walk will stay on the paved trail leading back to the Assateague State Park campgrounds and will be an out-and-back course.

All ages welcome…bring the whole family! We are excited to have our furry friends run or walk alongside you as long as they are friendly and leashed.
