Event Overview

The Trick or Trot Crab Trot 5K is an annual community run and walk held on Cobb Island, Maryland. This event welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels, including runners, joggers, and walkers. The course is set at Fisherman's Field and follows a route around the perimeter of the island. Participants can observe views of Neale Sound, the Potomac River, and the Wicomico River during the race.

This event is held rain or shine. Registration includes a race bib, a finisher medal, a commemorative t-shirt, and snacks provided both before and after the race. Packet pick-up is available the evening before the event at the Cobb Island Citizens Association Hall, with additional pick-up options available on the morning of the race at the starting location. Overland Timing provides chip timing for all participants.

Recognition and Categories

While the event encourages a fun atmosphere with a prize for the best crab-themed costume or attire, it also recognizes athletic performance.
