Buzzzzz! Hi there, I’m Bizzy, your favorite bee from the Black-Eyed Susan Challenge! 🐝🌼

I hope you’ll buzz on over and join me for this year’s Challenge, where we celebrate all things Maryland! You already know about the amazzzzing races—Frederick brings big-time exzzzitement with small-town charm, the Baltimore Ten Miler kicks off summer with a sting (the good kind!), and the Baltimore Running Festival is celebrating 25 years—It’s going to be one swarm of party!

These are three of the best races in the Old Line State, so why not bundle them together and snag some SWAG that is as sweet as honey? In addition to the medals and race shirts you’ll earn for finishing each race, you’ll also get a hum-dinger of a medal featuring Maryland’s iconic State Flower and yours truly, Bizzy Bee! 🏅🐝 Dressed from head to toe in Maryland colors of course!

Oh, and that’s not all! You’ll also score a super cool I ❤️ MARYLAND beach towel! It’s a free-bee that costs you nothing extra!  Take it Down the Ocean, to Deep Creek, or when you’re just pollenating by the pool.   Bee-lieve me, wherever you go, you’ll be showing off that Maryland pride!

So come on, join me for this year’s Black Eyed-Susan Challenge! Let’s make a buzz-worthy memory together!  You will be un-BEE-lievably thankful that you did!   Bzzzz! 🐝💛❤️
