Ocean Pines, MD – October 7, 2024 – Coastal Hospice is thrilled to announce the return of the Coastal Walk & 5K Run presented by Beachwood, Inc. Custom Builders on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at the Assateague State Park. This event is hosted by Beachwood Inc. and sponsored by Assateague State Park & MD Park Services, benefiting Coastal Hospice for the support of charitable care at the Macky & Pam Stansell House in Ocean Pines, MD.
Participants can choose to compete (or not) in a 2-mile Walk or 5K Run at this year’s event at Assateague State Park. The 5k course run will start on the paved bike path, for approximately one mile and then move on to the beach, for the remainder of the run. The 2-mile walk will be completely on the paved bike path and will be an out-and-back course. 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. We are excited to have our furry friends run or walk alongside you as long as they are leashed.
Participants should arrive at 8:00 a.m. for registration, refreshments, and music with a 9:00 a.m. start. Each participant will receive a dri-fit long sleeve shirt. 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. Register or sponsor now at www.coastalhospice.org/coastal-walk-run.
