SHEW's Annual Run for the Rescues 5K

Join the community at Maple Lawn on October 25, 2026, for SHEW's Annual Run for the Rescues, a heartwarming 5K fun run that benefits Safe Haven Equine Warriors (SHEW), a Maryland-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating horses in need.
Located at Maple Lawn - 11600 Scaggsville Rd, Fulton, MD 20759, this event invites runners of all levels along with walkers and families to participate in a scenic route that winds through the picturesque landscapes around Maple Lawn. The race not only offers participants an enjoyable run but also provides a platform for raising awareness about equine welfare.
Upon crossing the finish line, runners will receive a commemorative race shirt and medal as tokens of appreciation for their support. The event atmosphere is lively with music playing in the background, food vendors offering delicious treats, and family-friendly activities that cater to all ages.
One highlight of the day includes meeting some of SHEW’s rescue ambassadors—rescued horses who are now thriving under the care provided by Safe Haven Equine Warriors. These inspiring stories serve as a powerful reminder of why this event is so important.
By joining in, participants contribute directly towards veterinary care, feed, shelter, and rehoming efforts for rescued equines. Your presence helps to amplify SHEW’s mission: Rescue, Rehabilitate, Re-Home, Advocate, Educate.
For those wishing to support the cause even further, there are opportunities to become a sponsor or volunteer with Safe Haven Equine Warriors. More information can be found on their website at www.safehavenequinewarriors.org.
This event is open to all and promises an uplifting experience for everyone involved, ensuring that every step taken contributes positively towards giving horses a second chance at life in a safe and loving environment.
Please note the Maple Lawn community waiver requirements are necessary for participation.
