5K runs coming up

I'm getting back into my running routine of years past. A good motivator for me is 5K runs. It gives me something to train for - so, does anyone know of any that are scheduled for late spring/summer?

Calvert County Humane Society has one every summer - around August timeframe through Solomon's Island. Here is their link: they changed their website, but they usually post the information on it around April May.

This old man doesn't run anymore, though I might do the walk.

Yes, children are allowed to run. I've seen much younger children compete in the Run for Hospice. Last year (or the year before) a 9 or 10 year old ran with me and my dog for 2/3 of the race, until he needed to slow down.
