About this race

Enjoy the amazing views at this race venue along the Maryland peninsula. This park’s peaceful surroundings on a peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River in St. Mary’s County belie its history as the location of a camp which imprisoned as many as 52,264 Confederate soldiers during the Civil War.
