Sowebo Gateway 5K (formerly Sowebo Landmark 5K) – Baltimore, MD 2026

SoWeBo Gateway 5K Honoring Legacy. Expanding Opportunity. Running Toward the Future. In Southwest Baltimore, tradition is not just remembered—it’s lived, celebrated, and carried forward one step at a time. Since its founding in 2011, the SoWeBo Landmark 5K has grown from a grassroots neighborhood initiative into one of Southwest Baltimore’s most enduring community events. What began as a simple idea—to bring neighbors together through movement—has evolved into a powerful symbol of unity, wellness, and neighborhood pride . Each year, the race transforms the streets of SoWeBo into more than a course—it becomes a journey. Beginning in Union Square Park, participants move through historic landmarks such as Hollins Market, the B&O Railroad Museum, Carroll Park, and the H.L. Mencken House—experiencing firsthand the culture, architecture, and stories that define the community . But what has sustained this race for nearly 15 years is not just its route—it’s its people.
