About the St. Mary's Boys Basketball Annual 5K Run and 1-Mile Fun Run
The race runs through Quiet Waters Park, a wooded park setting east of downtown Annapolis. The course options cover different distances, so runners and walkers tend to show up together, and the post-Thanksgiving timing gives the morning a certain informal energy that a spring race rarely has.
The event raises money for a high school basketball program, and that shapes the crowd: parents, players, and coaches are a big part of the scene. Food and vendors are set up after the finish, and registration opens well before the start, with check-in available race morning.
