Catch-A-Pig 5K & 1K Bacon Stroll

Welcome

Welcome to the 14th 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!

Race Details

• Date: 2026-08-16
• Location: Ma & Pa Heritage Trail William Street Trailhead, Bel Air, MD
• Race type: Out-and-back along the MA & PA Trail
• Bacon Stroll: 1K for walkers invited to join in the fun!

Special Challenge

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-minute head start on the adult runners.

• Piglets: Pass at least one of the piglets before crossing the finish line to get your name into a special drawing for prizes.
• Wolves: There are also a few BIG, BAD WOLVES who will get a late (seven minute) jump on you.
• Opportunity: If they all pass you, you'll lose the opportunity for the special drawing.

Proceeds

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

For Young Runners

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.
