Race Info
The Historic Drawbridge Running Festival takes place each fall in St. Michaels, Maryland, on Talbot County's Eastern Shore. The event offers a marathon, half marathon and 5K, with courses that cross the area's historic drawbridges along the Chesapeake Bay waterfront. All three courses are USATF certified, and organizers describe the route as one of the flattest in Maryland. Proceeds support the Tilghman Island Volunteer Fire Company and the St. Michaels Fire Department. Source
