Endless Summer 6-Hour Run
The Endless Summer 6-Hour Run is a timed endurance event held in Quiet Waters Park, Annapolis, MD on July 19, 2026. The event offers a solo six-hour effort and a six-hour relay format with teams of three runners per team. The 2026 course returns to Quiet Waters Park and uses a longer perimeter loop of approximately 4.25 miles per lap that is noted for having plenty of shade. The Start and Finish area is located at the Red Maple Pavilion and the adjacent park area.
Organized by the Annapolis Striders, the event donates a portion of entry fees to the Semper Fi Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. There are two aid station locations: one at the Start and a second roughly halfway through the loop; the loop design means runners pass aid stations on every lap. Participants are asked to bring their own water bottle or hydration pack because cups at the aid stations will be limited.
Logistics note that the park address is 600 Quiet Waters Park Rd, Annapolis, MD 21403 and additional parking is available along the course. Awards are presented to overall solo winners by gender and masters, to top relay teams by Male/Female/Mixed categories, and to top Male/Female runners in 10-year age groups from 29 and under through 60 and up. Medals are given to all participants. Premium items include a bucket hat at finish and a running buff at registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
