On September 5, 2026, the BLS 5K Brunch Run takes place in College Park, Maryland. Despite its name, the actual event features a 1-mile run rather than a full 5K distance. The race starts at 8:00 AM, making it an early-morning option for local runners. Entry fees range from $20 to $100 depending on registration tier. If you're unable to attend in person, a virtual participation option is available, allowing you to complete the distance on your own schedule. This setup works well for athletes traveling to the area who want a shorter warm-up effort or a casual morning run before heading to other commitments in the College Park area.
From the Race Organizer
Fueling student-athletes. Supporting families. Building community. This isn't just a 5K. It's a movement. Brunch League Sports invites you to lace up, show out, and run for something bigger than a finish line. The BLS Run for Community is a Labor Day weekend 5K fundraiser and a celebration of what happens when athletics, nutrition, and community come together in one place. You run. We brunch. Everyone wins. Why we run Millions of children rely on school meals for daily nutrition, but on weekends, holidays, and during the summer, that access disappears. Brunch League Sports was created to close that gap. We combine food, sports, structured programming, and academics into one consistent, community-based experience so families don't have to choose between food and opportunity. We are not a drop-off program. We are a shared space where student-athletes and families can eat, learn, train, and grow together. Every registration you make directly funds BLS programs that keep young athletes active, supported, and connected when school is out. Access changes outcomes and no athlete should lose opportunity just because school is closed.
