MRE Bridge Run

The T-Shirt pre-order cut-off date is Monday, April 27. We'll have some Bridge Run shirts in different sizes at registration on Race Day, but the best way to make sure we have the right size for you is to register by April 27.

Described as "the least challenging athletic event ever conceived" by Runner's World magazine, the .05K extreme sports event is a (not so) grueling test of mental and physical toughness. Some competitors have taken as long as five minutes to complete the course that begins on the Annapolis side of the Spa Creek Bridge.

After completing the race, join your fellow athletes for an after party outside at O'Learys Seafood Restaurant, where we can fortify ourselves with live music and libations from beer and food trucks, and cheer on the race winners as they receive their just rewards from our panel of highly esteemed judges.

Prizes awarded: Cheetah (1st), Pronghorn (2nd), Gazelle (3rd), Tortoise (Slowest), MRE Spirit, Cutest Critter, Dream Team Theme, You Float Our Boat (nautical-themed), Punniest, Funniest All in the Family, Craftiest DIY, "Dang, I Wish I'd Thought of That Costume!" Award

Online registration closes at the crack o' midnight on Friday, May 9.
Kids under 12 are free with their parent's registration.
