About the race
The Chesapeake City New Years Day event is an annual wheel measured 5K on January 1, 2027 held at Bohemia Avenue near Town Hall, 108 Bohemia Avenue, Chesapeake City, MD 21915. The course runs through town and is described as fast and flat. Parking is available under the bridge at 3rd Street.
There are two event categories: a standard 5K run or run/walk and a Competitive Walking 5K that requires participants to walk the entire distance. Race day registration is available for $30. Participants who register by December 22 will receive a commemorative medal. Post race refreshments are provided and overall winners and first place age group finishers receive awards or a gift bag.
The event supports Chesapeake City’s Recycling Program and participants are asked, if able, to bring a nonperishable food item for the CCEA Food Pantry. Race policies note that no baby strollers are allowed in the run portion, no dogs are permitted due to insurance liability, bibs are nontransferable, and registrations are nonrefundable. Top finisher awards for overall male and female are scored by gun time while other age group awards are scored by chip time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
