A new twist on an old favorite, this TWILIGHT run will be held at the Hog Neck Golf Course on Saturday, August 22nd. The race will start around sunset (7:30 pm) to ensure that everyone has the full experience. Your course will be lighted by a full moon and by lights on the course. The 5k course will take you from the clubhouse, to the main entrance to the course and on to the cart path to complete your 3.1 mile journey.

THE SUNSET STROLL we are offering walkers a chance to take a short (approximately 1.5 mile), non-competitive walk on the course as the sun sets. This is an opportunity to walk in support of someone with pancreatic cancer or in memory of someone who died from this terrible disease.

All participants (runners and walkers) will receive a race t-shirt, race bib with timing chip and a PURPLE glow stick in remembrance of those who have suffered from the effects of Pancreatic Cancer. We encourage everyone to come out in their best purple garb, to stay with this theme.

This race benefits the Mid-Shore Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, Inc. The mission of the Mid-Shore Pancreatic Cancer Foundation is to provide hope and support for people fighting pancreatic cancer in our community. We are working toward a day when pancreatic cancer will move from being a deadly disease to being a chronic disease. Check out their website at http://www.midshorepancan.org/

5K Awards will be:

Top 2 in each age group: OVERALL MALE, OVERALL FEMALE, 19 and Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 and Over

#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!
