About the race
The Zaching Running Festival
Saturday, November 21, 2026
The Annual Zaching Running Festival benefits the Zaching Against Cancer Foundation and takes place at Turf Valley Towne Square/Turf Valley Resort, one of Maryland's premier running events. Choose from a 10K, a 5K or a 1-Mile Walk, whether you are a seasoned runner chasing a personal best, walking with friends and family, or taking part in honor or memory of someone touched by cancer.
Every dollar raised benefits the Zaching Against Cancer Foundation, helping provide financial assistance through the Little Things for Cancer Program, transportation to treatment, groceries, utility assistance, prescription co-pays and other vital services for families throughout Maryland.
