Coastal Walk & 5K Run
See you in October 2026 at Assateague State Park!
Thank you to all who joined us for our 2025 Coastal Walk
2 Mile Walk or 5K Run at Assateague State Park
Salt air, crashing waves, wildlife, and sunshine. What better backdrop for a charity 5K and 2-mile walk? This fun event is presented by Beachwood, Inc. Custom Builders and sponsored by Assateague State Park & MD Park Services. Best of all, every step raised over $20,000, benefiting the Macky & Pam Stansell House of Coastal Hospice.
120 participants of all ages, from energetic children runners to those enjoying the scenery in strollers and even leashed furry friends, spent a beautiful morning by the coast by choosing to compete in a 2-mile Walk or 5K Run, held on Saturday, October 18th. Registrants arrived and enjoyed refreshments and music until the race began. Registration was $30 and included a dri-fit long-sleeve shirt, and medals were awarded to the placing participants in each of the categories following the race. Huge thanks to our amazing donors and sponsors for supporting this year’s Coastal Walk & 5K Run!
This event perfectly combined the beauty of Maryland’s stunning shoreline with the power of local support.

Course Map
The 5k course will start on the paved bike path, for approximately one (1) mile and then move on to the beach, for the remainder of the event. 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 be completely on the paved bike path and will be an out-and-back course
