Race Overview:

Welcome to the 12th annual Catch-A-Pig (CAP) 5K – this is a great opportunity to have a unique race experience AND support The Boys & Girls Club of Harford County!

The race is an out-and-back along the MA & PA Trail.  1K Bacon Stroll walkers are invited to join in the fun! 

The kicker: THIS IS A CHASE!  We’ll have young runners dressed in pink pig shirts (a.k.a. "the piglets").  They will have a three minutes head start on the adult runners.  Those who pass at least one of the piglets before crossing the finish line get their name into a special drawing for prizes.  BUT LOOK OUT!  There are also a few BIG, BAD WOLVES who will get a late (seven minute) jump on you.  If they all pass you, you'll lose the opportunity for the special drawing

All proceeds after costs will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford and Cecil Counties.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 AND WANT TO BE ONE OF OUR PIGLETS: We are accepting runners under the age of 13 to take off first.  These young ones get a FREE pig t-shirt.

Bring your pup! Sign him/her up to join you (sign them up under the dog option). Dogs must be registered (just $10) and on a leash.
