Open to Runners, Walkers and everyone in between. THE BEST WAY TO CROSS THE BAY Maryland's most unique experience! Don’t miss out on the chance to run or walk over the Chesapeake Bay. The beloved Maryland tradition returns with a 10 kilometer, 6.2 mile point-to-point course will take runners over the eastbound span of the 4.35 mile long Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which reaches 186 feet at its tallest point. Participants will experience water vistas dotted with sailboats and cargo ships from atop a major dual-span bridge that doesn’t allow pedestrian traffic at any other time of the year. This event happens once a year and is the only way to cross this majestic span on foot. The race is open to participants of various levels of fitness and physical abilities as long as you are able to complete the event at an average pace of 19 minutes/mile. Walkers are asked to remain in the right-hand lane of the bridge at all times. If you plan to walk all or a portion of the race, please select from Waves C through H. Waves A and B are reserved for those running the full route.
