About this race

Run with the pirates and join the Eastern Shore Running Club for the third annual Pirate's Wharf 5K, happening at Pirate's Wharf Park, located at 4701 Whitehaven Road in Quantico. The course is on a crushed-stone path. This race will benefit the Eastern Shore Running Club's general fund and scholarship fund for local high school graduating seniors.

ESRC is a nonprofit through the Road Runners Club of America and has our scholarship fund at the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. Enjoy food, drinks and a DJ after the race. We will have overall and age group awards. Dogs/pets and strollers are not allowed. 

New this year

We're offering a reduced entry fee for youth ages 19 and under, and more age groups for youth: 10 and under, 11 to 14 and 15 to 19 instead of 19 and under. After age 19, there will be 10 year age groups up to 70-plus.

Registration fees

  • Registration fees for ages 20 and up will be $30 until Sept. 10, $35 from Sept. 11 through Oct. 7, and $40 on race day. 
  • Registration fees for ages 19 and under will be $20 until Sept. 10, $25 from Sept. 11 through Oct. 7, and 30 on race day. 
  • ESRC members save $5 on registration (you can become a member during the registration process)

All registrants registered by Sept. 19 will be guaranteed an event shirt. 

We are just having the 5K this year; not the one-mile walk, but you are welcome to walk the 5K. The time limit is 1 hour and 15 minutes.
