The 5th Annual Fiesta 5K & Fun Run

Start a team, join a team or register to run – all for ALS research!

5th annual fiesta 5k

Runners hit the pavement at the 2010 Fiesta 5K.

Lace up your running shoes and join us on May 7, 2011 for the 5th Annual Fiesta 5K & Fun Run. The Packard Center’s signature event is right around the corner. Last year, we welcomed more than 1,600 participants, 62 teams and raised over $237,000 — all in the name of ALS research.

You can start your own team, join one of the 20 teams already registered or sign-up as an individual. Not a runner? Live out of town? That’s not a problem; we have ways for you get involved too. Sign-up as a volunteer or register as a “siesta” runner. You can join us in spirit!

This year we are pleased to welcome back our friends and partners including The Baltimore Ravens, the University of Maryland Men’s Basketball Team, the Brigance Brigade as well as WBAL-TV and radio and 98Rock.
