Organiser's description

Elijah Britt Memorial 5K 2023 at Centennial Park in Ellicott City, MD. All proceeds will go to the non-profit Elijah Britt Memorial Scholarship Fund to support a scholarship for a child to attend martial arts classes. This run and non-profit are in honor of Elijah, a beautiful and bright 7-year-old who was passionate about taekwondo. He earned his yellow belt just before his passing in July of 2022.

Shirts will be handed out the day of the race for individuals who are participating locally. Shirt orders must be placed before 2 May 2023 at 11:59 EST so we can get the shirts ordered and shipped in time. There is a virtual race option, but we will not be shipping shirts for those participating outside of the local area, so please keep that in mind.

The race will begin at Pavilion D at Centennial Park in Ellicott City, MD. We have Pavilions A-D and the Upper Plateau reserved all day, so individuals may stay and BBQ for Memorial Day if they wish. There are two sand volleyball courts, as well as a lake with the option for water activities with boat rentals (daily permit and boat rentals at your own cost).
