Event Description

Cycle the scenic back roads of picturesque Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Dorchester County, MD.  Choice of 3 FLAT routes: 37 miles, the famous 56-mile Ironman Eagleman course or our beautiful 100-mile century course that takes you through quaint townships along the Chesapeake Bay and back through serene woodlands.  Begin your day at Gerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh for a complimentary fresco breakfast on the shores of the scenic Choptank River.  Our show-n-go start allows you the option of having a daybreak start or another cup of coffee.  Along the course are fully stocked rest stops crewed by friendly and helpful volunteers. Upon your return, you are treated to a picnic in the park and a chance to tell your ride’s story to old and new friends!  All this is just for you!  Specially designed tee shirts “made in MD” for the first 1,000 to register.    Proceeds benefit Character Counts Mid Shore's character education programs that reach over 8,200 students at NO cost to the schools or taxpayers.  Join us and help support our youth programs creating tomorrow’s leaders, today!
