On Saturday, April 11, the Chesapeake Bay Trust will host its 4th Annual 5K for the Bay at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. This 3.1 mile run/walk will start at 9:00 am with all proceeds benefitting Chesapeake Bay restoration and education.
Since it launched in 2011, the 5K for the Bay has grown exponentially, with a sellout crowd of more than 600 participants last year. The race is on track to sell out again this year, so participants are encouraged to register as early as possible.
Registration is $30 for adults, $10 for students 10 to 17 years old, and kids 9 and under are free. Leashed pets and children in jogging strollers are welcome. There is a 20 percent discount available for groups of six or more.
All race registrants will receive a performance race tee shirt and participant bag featuring giveaways from race sponsors and supporting businesses. There are prizes for the fastest male and female runners in multiple age categories. Pre-race packet pick-up will take place Friday, April 10 from 3:00-6:00 pm at Fleet Feet in Annapolis.
The event is sponsored by the Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company, Annapolis Subaru, Dogs and Cats Veterinary Referral & Emergency, Environmental Quality Resources, Sila Heating and Air Conditioning, Gutter Helmet by Harry Hamlet, Premier Fitness, South River Federation, Tails on Trails, K&B True Value, Bay Bred, Bowie Baysox, SPCA of Anne Arundel County, Capital SUP, and Fleet Feet Annapolis.
Each participating company has donated in-kind services, monetary contributions or overall race support.
