The race will begin and end at the Crisfield City Dock at the end of Rt. 413.

We are trying to incentivize you to register by August 1st to get a t-shirt (and to save money) and to pick your packet up before the day of the race. The 10k ruck has a 20 pound weight. The 10k ruck has the same course as the 10k race, but starts at 7:00 a.m. Please remember that we made a significant change to our annual event in 2023 transforming the traditional 5k Walk into a 5k Race. While we still wholeheartedly welcome participants who prefer to walk, there will no longer be a separate walking race. All participants are encouraged to take part in the 10k or 5k Race, regardless of their preferred pace.
