About the Event

Start your morning with the North Point State Park 5K, a Fun Run and Walk, starting at 7:00 a.m. Saturday, March 28, at - where else? - North Point State Park! The flat, scenic 3.1-mile run starts at the park's rear waterfront parking lot and follows the access road to the main entrance, where runners loop back to the parking lot finish line, where music, refreshments, awards, and drawings await you.

The event takes place on the site of the old Bay Shore Park, where all of Baltimore County came to enjoy swimming, hiking, boating, concessions, and rides. The race benefits the newly accredited non-profit Greater Dundalk Community Development Organization (GDCDO), with a mission to provide housing assistance, support small businesses, community events, and foster community engagement.

General registration is $30 (+ processing fee); first responders and students are $25 (click here for the $5.00 discount).

Enjoy the natural, traffic-free environment while helping your community!

About Sparrows Point

Learn more about the host city, Sparrows Point.

Sparrows Point is an industrial area in unincorporated Baltimore County, Maryland, United States, adjacent to Edgemere. Named after Thomas Sparrow, landowner, it was the site of a very large industrial complex owned by Bethlehem Steel, known for steelmaking and shipbuilding. In its heyday in the mid-20th century, it was the largest steel mill in the world. The site of the former Bethlehem Sparrows Point Shipyard and steel mill is now renamed Tradepoint Atlantic in a revitalization program to clean up the environment and make it one of the largest ports on the East Coast of the United States. Today Sparrows Point is home to many distribution centers, fulfillment centers, training lots, storage lots, and the like, including those operated by Under Armour, Amazon, Home Depot, Volkswagen, and McCormick & Company.
