4Steps Therapeutic Riding 5K

4Steps Therapeutic Riding 5K is held in Parsonsburg, Maryland, in Wicomico County, on February 20, 2027, with the single 5K starting at 9:00 a.m. The route runs through the Wicomico Demonstration Forest, and gift cards go to the leading man and woman in each category. Proceeds support a therapeutic riding program that provides low-cost services to people with special needs.

A 5K in a forest setting is a friendly place to test yourself: the distance is short enough to attempt off a modest base, and the surroundings take some of the pressure off the clock. Three or four runs a week for a couple of months will get most people to the finish comfortably. If you are chasing a time, run the first mile a little slower than feels right and spend what is left over the closing stretch.
