The 2027 Maryland Indoor 5k and Family Fun Run at Arundel Mills Mall!

Sunday, February 21, 2027Hanover, MD1 Miles – 5K

Experience a unique indoor 5K challenge that takes place entirely within the corridors of Arundel Mills before the mall opens. This race offers a rare opportunity to avoid the elements while navigating a mile-long loop, with the 5K distance consisting of four laps. The course features tight spots and small ramps, providing a fun and unconventional environment rather than a traditional personal-best track. Participants can choose between a competitive bracket, a standard 5K, or a family-friendly fun run and walk. The event includes post-race activities like fitness demos and recovery sessions, with proceeds supporting Girls on the Run, Greater Chesapeake Chapter. Please note that this is a cupless race, so runners must bring their own lidded water containers.
