Event summary
Get ready for an unforgettable day of fun and fitness at the Skipjack Run on Saturday, September 6, 2025, in the beautiful Deal Island, Somerset! This exciting event features both a 5K and 10K race, where runners will experience the stunning views of the Chesapeake Bay and the iconic Deal Island Bridge. As you sprint over the elegantly sloping half mile of the bridge, you'll be accompanied by the majestic Skipjack Fleet and the sight of osprey diving into the marsh creeks for their last catch before winter.
The Skipjack Run isn't just about racing; it's a celebration of community and nature! Enjoy awesome refreshments, including delicious chocolate milk, and participate in fun raffles for unique trophies. With professional chip timing and multiple water stops along the route, both serious runners and leisurely walkers (including well-mannered dogs on leashes) are welcome. Plus, 100% of the proceeds go to support the Deal Island Community Thanksgiving Dinner. So lace up your shoes, gather your friends and family, and join us for a day filled with excitement, scenic views, and community spirit!

Organiser's Description
#irunthisbridge - the elegantly sloping half mile of Deal Island Bridge greets you at the start AND finish of both distances!
#runwithaview - the Chesapeake Bay Skipjack Fleet graces the harbor at the start line. It is the last commercial sail powered fishing fleet in North America and the only cohesive sailing fleet in the western hemisphere. You're sure to catch the osprey fishing for their final meals in our marsh creeks before they retire south for the winter. And what better way to recover from that bridge sprint than with a walk on the beach? Deal Island Beach is renown for it's treasure of sea glass!
