About the Festival at Bel Air 5K
This is a chip-timed road race in Bel Air that doubles as a community festival, with a shorter walk option alongside the main distance. The race benefits Harford Family House, a local organization focused on housing families experiencing homelessness, so the cause is woven into the morning rather than tucked into a footnote.
Parking is on-site at no extra cost. After you finish, the festival continues, so there is reason to stick around rather than head straight to your car.
