Healthy Tilghman 5k or 1 Mile Run/Walk

Lace up your running shoes for the Healthy Tilghman 5k or 1 Mile Run/Walk on June 6, 2026, set against the stunning backdrop of Tilghman Island, Maryland. This chip-timed event offers a rare opportunity to chase a personal record on one of the region's flattest courses, while immersing yourself in the picturesque charm of the Chesapeake Bay. Whether you're aiming for a speedy 3.1 miles or a leisurely 1-mile stroll, this race provides an inviting and scenic experience for all ages and fitness levels.

Both the 5K and 1 Mile courses begin and end at Black Walnut Point Park, located at 4787 Black Walnut Point Rd. The 5K runners will embark on an out-and-back journey that winds along the breakwater, through tranquil farmland, and past a historic church, all while enjoying beautiful water views. For those opting for the 1-mile distance, the route follows a quiet, scenic shoreline, offering continuous vistas of the island's natural beauty. Beyond the scenic flat course, what truly makes this race unique is its dedication to community well-being, with proceeds supporting Healthy Tilghman, a non-profit providing vital health-oriented programs for the Bay Hundred region.

Expect typical race day conditions in early June to feature highs around 82°F and lows around 64°F, with a modest 18% chance of precipitation, making for generally favorable running weather. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement and the knowledge that your participation directly contributes to a healthier community. Awards will be presented in the 5K for overall male and female finishers, overall masters male and female, and top age group performers. Check-in opens at 8:00 a.m., with the 5K starting at 9:00 a.m., immediately followed by the 1 Mile walk.
