Skipjack Run

Get ready to hit the pavement in an exhilarating race that not just challenges your physical stamina but also rewards your senses! The #irunthisbridge event is your chance to conquer the iconic half-mile Deal Island Bridge - not once, but twice, as it marks the start and finish line for both the 5K and 10K distances. While you race, soak in the stunning views of the Chesapeake Bay Skipjack Fleet, keep an eye out for osprey swooping into the marsh creeks, and recover later with a treasure hunt for sea glass on Deal Island Beach.

We're all about precision, so rest assured with professional chip timing by TCR Event Management. And when you run, you give back—100% of proceeds go towards the Deal Island Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Expect oodles of post-race treats (yes, we have chocolate milk!), cool raffles, and unique trophies, not to mention the warm fuzzy feeling of community spirit. Bring your friends, your dog, your stroller—everyone's welcome! Just remember, there's no plan B for rain or refunds, so lace up and let's make some memories!
