About the race
The 30th Annual Jug Bay Run/Walk for Wildlife is a benefit race that supports conservation projects and research for the Patuxent River watershed. The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s Patuxent River Park and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary together cover over 3,500 acres along the banks of the Patuxent River, an area that the event seeks to help preserve. Proceeds from the run and walk directly support projects, research, conservation, and education in the Patuxent River watershed.
The course travels along the riverbanks and alongside the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Driving Tour managed by M-NCPPC and Maryland DNR. The route is mostly flat and follows paved and dirt roads. Water stations are located along the racecourse. The 10K and 5K courses are USATF certified (10K course #MD18001RT; 5K course #MD13004-RT). The 3K is a fun walk that begins shortly after the 5K and 10K. Finish line timing and results for the 10K and 5K are officiated by Blue Cheetah Sports Timing.
