For the 9th time, people of various faiths gathered at the South Germantown Recreational Park in Boyds, Maryland for a 5k race. Sponsored by various local synagogues, churches, and mosques, the event preaches togetherness and community.
According to the race organizers, nine years ago there was anti-semtic graffiti found on a local synagogue. The race evolved from the idea that people from different religious communities should gather to see all they have in common and not live in ignorance.
Now, every Labor Day, people from many religions run up and down scenic hills in a race that highlights unity, not divisions.
Here are some pictures from the event on Monday, September 1, 2025:
