Across the Bay 10K Means Lane Closures on Bay Bridge

The inaugural Across the Bay 10K planned for Sunday, Nov. 9, means nearly 20,000 runners will run 6.2 miles from Northrop Grumman on the western shore to Chesapeake Bay Business Park on the eastern shore.

Registration for the run is sold out.

The eastbound span of the Bay Bridge (US 50/301) will be closed temporarily to traffic from roughly 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, for the inaugural Across the Bay 10K.

Two-way traffic will be allowed on the westbound span, say state highway officials. One lane of traffic will operate in each direction on the westbound span, with the center lane closed to traffic.

The center lane may open to traffic intermittently to help reduce westbound delays. In addition, two detours will be in place on the Eastern Shore due to the race.

Visit the race page for detours and more traffic information.

A kids’ run will be held on the field at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 8. Children 12 years or younger may sign up to secure their space. Each participant will receive a commemorative race shirt and finisher’s medal.

The kids’ run will also include a shark themed costume contest immediately following the race. The winner of the costume contest will receive an iPad Mini.
