The 11th annual race is entering its second decade & re-branded as the Gwynn’s Island Raw Bar Run. The event features a brand-new 5k course, an all-new name & vibe, and a waterfront post-race celebration. This year, we’re taking the action to the historic Callis Wharf, where participants will run along the stunning Piankatank River and Milford Haven, soaking in the best waterfront views Gwynn’s Island has to offer.

Hosted by: The Hatchery x Mathews Outdoor Club

Registration opens on March 1, closes April 20. No race day registration.

What’s Included:
New 5K Race Route along the shoreline: Views of the water, wharfs, the Island bridge & marina!

3 Age Groups: Under 40, 40-59, Over 60. Awards for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place male and female finishers in each bracket.

Post Race Celebration:

Live music & Free oyster raw bar for runners. The Food Truck will be open for lunch serving food & beverages, so stay and order some lunch, oysters, and enjoy some music by the water. Limited picnic tables available, bring a chair.

Perks in your packet: Stickers & magnet, wristband access to raw bar, 1 free beer ticket for ages 21+, $5 gift voucher for a future visit to the Hatchery Food Truck.
