Description

On the first Saturday in April each year, this fun run/walk will take you on a course partially cross country, meandering through quaint Port Norris and its surrounds, including wetlands and historic fishing villages. Open to everyone of all ages, and including pets, bikes and strollers, this event is for people who take their 5k run very seriously, but also for family groups who wish to enjoy a beautiful walk with the family dog and the baby in the stroller. Renowned for the best post-run buffet, Bayshore Center at Bivalve cook up a feast to reward all participants. And the prizes are unique and bountiful!

Individuals who raise the most money for the event will be rewarded with a framed limited edition print of the A. J. Meerwald, and the group of two or more who raise the most will receive a private charter sail for up to 41 passengers on the Meerwald.  Schools and other youth organizations that raise more than $800 can win an Education Sail for their class/group.

It is a fun day, in a unique environment and whether you win in your class or just enjoy a stroll on the wetlands, you will be well rewarded for participating.
