Sprint for Spat is Baltimore's newest and quirkiest 5K-ish FUNdraiser benefiting Oyster Recovery Partnership! Come dressed as a mermaid, pirate, sea captain, oyster—or whatever floats your boat—and run, jog, or walk your way through oyster-inspired antics, unexpected surprises, and a whole lot of shell-raising fun, all while helping restore the Chesapeake Bay. And when you cross the finish line? You'll land right in the heart of OyFest, where you can shuck around and find out just how many oysters you can eat after running 5K-ish (add-on ticket during checkout). Sprint for Spat is a 21+ event.

Gather your crew, lace up your running shoes, prep your best oyster puns, and get ready to Sprint for Spat.
