Chesapeake Bay Bridge Run 1999

The Governor's Bay Bridge Run is limited to 3000 entries each year, and is one of the most scenic road races in the US. It begins on Maryland's Eastern Shore, crosses the East bound span on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and ends on the Western Shore. You climb about 200 feet up during the first half of the race and then descend as you head towards the finish.

Here are just some of the runners at the starting line. Actually, all 3000 are lined up to use a single port-a-john. HURRY PLEASE! they say!

 

"Come on, you slowpoke!" they yell at the photographer!

 

Here we are at the finish line! Team WC, representing several academic and administrative departments, has made a strong showing again. Notice that most are already taking onboard liquid refreshment.

Amy '98 again wins first place for her age group. She is top banana with us, too!
