Organiser's Description
Warm up this winter with a oneofakind racing experience at Arundel Mills!
Join us for an indoor 5K that takes place entirely inside the mall, giving you the rare chance to run the milelong loop of Arundel Mills without braving the cold!
Choose between completing multiple loops for the full 5K or opting for our familyfriendly fun run or walk, featuring a shorter distance perfect for kids and new runners. This race takes place before the mall opens! It won't be a great course for setting a personal best, but we can promise it will be a fun and unique one!
All racers will receive a medal. Check it out here [https://www.instagram.com/p/DUOhs4EEgG6/]!
**This race is hard capped. If you can still sign up, there is space! Once we hit our cap, we will have to welcome you next year!**

5K: 8:00 AM IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR BIB OR PACKET YET. 8:15-8:20 IF YOU ONLY HAVE TO GRAB YOUR RACING CHIP

PACKET PICK-UP (INFO UPDATED AS OF SATURDAY, 3:50 PM)
Bib, swag, and shirts will be handed out before the race! If you have not received it, please arrive by 8:00 am. If you have already picked up your packet, you will only need to pick up your racing timer that goes around your ankle in the morning. EVERYONE needs to pick up their racing timer. Please arrive by 8:20 to ensure you have enough time to pick it up.
Reminder- this is a cupless race! Waters will not be handed out. We have dozens of water fountains on site and want to ensure the floors stay as dry as possible. Please bring a container with a lid for your water.
SWAG AND GIVEAWAYS
All participants receive both a finisher's medal and a shirt! Check in for the swag bag our retailers and partners provide, including giveaways, raffles, promos, and discounts at Arundel Mills stores! Shirts are not guaranteed for runners who sign up after 2/16.
HYDRATION STATION
In order to keep the floors as dry as possible, there will only be a water station at the start/finish line that racers will pass as they go around the mall. While water/drinks are allowed on the course, there will be no water cups while on the lap except for water at the food court. The mall has several restrooms available throughout the course that have water fountains next to them. Running with a cup without a lid is not permitted, but running with water or other fluids is permitted as long as it closes (water bottle, camelbak, sports bottle, etc.)
WHAT TO BRING
Your own water, bags, and gear are fine to bring! We will have waves starting/finishing in the food court that will provide plenty of tables and chairs to store your items. We cannot allow pets, selfie sticks, glass, or weapons. Note that neither the mall nor Peake Events is responsible for lost belongings.
Parking and Entrance Recommendation
The closest parking would be the Maryland Live Casino parking garage (free), and use the Food Court Entrance. Nando Peri Peri is located next to that Food Court entrance for reference.
Distance Disclaimer
Please note: Course distance and start times may adjust slightly based on registration numbers and logistics. Waved starts will help ensure plenty of space for running through the mall corridors. The 5k course will be four laps around the mall and is 1/10th of a kilometer longer than an exact 5k.
STROLLERS AND CHILDREN NOTE
The 5k race will have runners completing four laps around the mall, making for tight spots, especially in two sections that require a small ramp to go up/down. Runners can also opt to run up and down the three stairs as they see fit. Strollers will only be allowed during the Fun Run/walk and must start at the back. Any child participating in the 5k should be able to maintain a jogging pace and stick to the right-hand side of the course. We love kids, but know they like to take off and run around without always looking around their surroundings. Please ensure your child is both old enough for the 5k and can follow proper race etiquette. We invite everyone to join the Fun Run/Walk!
