About the race
The Over the Bridge Run/Walk is a community road event held in Hampton Bays, centered at Hampton Bays Middle School with the starting area on the south side of the Ponquogue Bridge at Warner’s Park. The event offers two distance options:
- 5 km
- 10 km
The course runs along the Atlantic Ocean, Shinnecock Inlet, and Shinnecock Bay, and passes through residential neighborhoods of Hampton Bays. The route is generally flat and fast but includes the crossing of the Ponquogue Bridge. Organizers note the course may be changed for safety if weather or road conditions require it.
On-site amenities include refreshments, awards, and participant tees for the first 200 registrants. Awards are given to the top overall male and female for each distance and to the top three male and female finishers in standard age divisions from 11-19 through 70 and over.
Bib pickup takes place at Hampton Bays Middle School and participants are bused to the starting area at Warner’s Park. No vehicular traffic is allowed at Warner’s Park. A personalized bib is available for those who register in advance; last-minute registrants receive their bib number by text. The event does not permit roller blades, headphones, or animals. Participants under twelve years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
The event reports live online and text results, free video, and same-day finish line photos. The Hampton Bays Lions Club is associated with the event and supports local charitable work. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
