About this race
Please join us for the 46th Annual Mike Sterling 10k Race / 5k Race / 10k Ruck to be held in Crisfield, MD during the annual National Hard Crab Derby. The race will begin and end at the Crisfield City Dock at the end of Rt. 413. Runners, walkers, and ruckers will enjoy a fast, flat course that meanders thru the City of Crisfield as well as the neighborhoods and along the waterfront outskirts. Water stops will be provided at three locations along our route.

Prices increase from $25 to $35 on Monday, August 25, 2025 and to $40 on race day, August 30, 2025. Everyone who registers on or before August 1, 2025 will be guaranteed a t-shirt.
Packet pickup is Friday, August 29, 2025 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Wellington Beach.
We are trying to incentivize you to register by August 1st to get a t-shirt (and to save money) and to pick your packet up before the day of the race.
The 10k ruck has a 20 pound weight. The 10k ruck has the same course as the 10k race, but starts at 7:00 a.m.
Please remember that we made a significant change to our annual event in 2023 transforming the traditional 5k Walk into a 5k Race. While we still wholeheartedly welcome participants who prefer to walk, there will no longer be a separate walking race. All participants are encouraged to take part in the 10k or 5k Race, regardless of their preferred pace.
