About the 9th Annual Homewood Holiday 5k
The course winds through a university campus in Baltimore, going past an art museum and along a named pedestrian pathway before returning to the athletic fields. The terrain is gentle, and the surroundings feel more like a campus stroll than a road race, with tree-lined paths and open quads.
After finishing, runners gather on the athletic field for water, snacks, and beer. There is music, a costume contest, and a visit from Santa. The race also raises money for the neonatal intensive care unit at a local children's hospital, which gives the morning a grounded sense of purpose.
