NEW this year, we are expanding to a full blown running festival with the addition of a Marathon (Share the first 10.5 miles of the half marathon course) and a 5k (out and back from the finish line). Be sure to check out all of the options available.

ALL COURSES WILL BE USATF CERTIFIED COURSES!!!

Have trouble with course maps? Afraid of missing turns? Looking to set your PR with an all-out effort? Have we got the race for you!!!

The Historic Drawbridge Running Festival will take place on Saturday, November 16th, 2024. The half will navigate from Tilghman Island, straight up Route 33, and to St Michaels, making one of the only true turns of the race in to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum!! That’s a 13.1 mile STRAIGHT RUN with little to no elevation or turns!!!

The NEW full marathon will follow the same course, but turn right on Bozman-Neavitt Rd (MD Route 579) and travel through tiny Bozman, and turn around right before Neavitt, before you turn around and return to St Michaels, rejoining the marathon course around mile 24.

Our 5k event, starting at 830am, will start and finish from the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum!!!

THE EVENT WILL START FROM THE WYLDER HOTEL ON TILGHMAN ISLAND AT 8AM!! RUNNERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO CROSS THE MAT WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES (8:00:00 TO 8:05:00) TO PROPERLY DISTANCE THEMSELVES. ALL RUNNERS MUST BE ON SITE AT THE START BY 7:45am.
