Build my planJoin the Official Bay Bridge Run and Support Walk the Walk Foundation!
Make your miles matter by running or walking with the Walk the Walk Foundation team. Your participation helps provide essential items like diapers, school supplies, and Christmas gifts - to children in need within our community.
This is your only opportunity to cross the stunning Chesapeake Bay Bridge on foot! The 10K course spans the eastbound side of the bridge, from Anne Arundel County to Kent Island, and ends with a lively post-race celebration.
Our goal is to raise $50,000 to continue improving the lives of those we serve.
THERE IS NO RACE DAY PURCHASING OF PARKING.
