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 nautical whimsy floats your boat—and run, jog, or walk your way through oyster-inspired challenges, unexpected surprises, and a whole lot of shell-raising fun.

Along the course, you’ll have chances to take on challenges that can shave time off your official finish time, so speed isn’t the only way to get ahead! And every ridiculous mile helps restore the Chesapeake Bay.

But this isn’t just a race, it’s a FUNdraiser. Together, Sprint for Spat participants are working toward one big goal: helping plant 1 MILLION oysters in the Chesapeake Bay. Every participant gets a personal fundraising page, making it easy to invite friends, family and coworkers to support your Sprint and help the whole S4S crew reach that million-oyster finish line. 🌊🦪

You’ll also earn serious bragging rights for conquering the “Dreaded Druid Hills”—and when you cross the finish line, a well-earned beverage courtesy of Union Craft Brewing will be waiting for you. 🍺 Even better, 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 exercising.🤪 (OyFest admission is available as an add-on ticket during checkout.)

And there’s more to take home than bragging rights: register by Wednesday, October 28 to score a long-sleeve, race-themed Sprint for Spat T-shirt. 👕 Plus, top finishers in each category will take home custom-made oyster medals worthy of all that effort. 🦪🏅

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

Sprint for Spat is a 21+ event.
