In addition to getting the once-in-a-lifetime chance to take in the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay as you cross the bridge on foot, participants will also earn some amazing SWAG (Stuff We All Get) to help you relive the memories you create on race day.
THE MEDAL
The 2025 version is the final piece of a five piece puzzle. This year's version features a rock fish you may see in the Chesapeake Bay! THIS IS THE LAST PART of your collection. You will be able to proudly wear this medal after you complete your 6.2 miles over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Remember, you have to participate all five years to complete the full puzzle. While each medal will look great as its stand alone version, you will be able to piece them all together over a 5-year span to make a huge 6” medal that will WOW all of your BLING crazy-friends. Don’t miss your chance to keep your puzzle going.
Sign up to run or walk the Bay Bridge on November 9, 2025!
MEDAL HISTORY
Each medal features an iconic figure that represents the Chesapeake Bay and all of its beauty:
A steamed Maryland blue crab, a seagull, a sailboat, a rockfish and of course the Chesapeake Bay Bridge itself!
At the end of our 5-year journey, you will be able to piece each of the medals together to create this HUGE 6 inch medal collage.

THE RACE SHIRT
Each year, Maryland's own Under Armour proudly creates a special shirt for the year. In 2025, all Bay Bridge Run participants will receive a gray long-sleeve performance tee, designed for comfort and style whether you're crossing the bridge or training on your turf.
The back of the shirt features an outline of the Chesapeake Bay, accompanied by the iconic symbols found on our past medals as a subtle nod to your collection and the legacy of this one-of-a-kind race.
