Every Step Counts

Join Bello Machre for their 29th Annual Every Step Counts Walk, Bike and 5K Run. Registration opens at 7:00 a.m. and the event concludes at 12:00 noon. This event is fun for the whole family and will feature a moon bounce, face painting, children’s games and prizes, great food, and music. The event is designed to promote education and awareness about people with developmental disabilities who live and work within the community.

The walk (1-mile), bike (5 miles), and 5K run course begins and ends at the Anne Arundel Community College and is suited for all ages. The 5K Run is a professionally timed event for each registered 5K participant – whether you walk or run. Awards will be presented to the fastest three times for both men and women, as well as in nine age groups. All participants under the age of 10 will receive a participation medal.

Individuals and teams are encouraged to raise money for Bello Machre or make a pledge to a specific person or Bello Machre home, with half of the money raised going directly back in the form of services. This is a huge help to families and individuals in the Bello Machre community. Walkers, bikers, and runners are encouraged to set up a personalized pledge page by texting ESC to 71777 to sign up and/or donate.
