Bowers Heritage Day 5k 2026

The Bowers Heritage Day 5k is a run-walk held on Clifton Cubbage Drive in Frederica, Delaware, starting at 9:00 a.m. on an October Sunday. It is connected to Bowers Heritage Day and generates funds for the Bowers Beach Maritime Museum, establishing a local maritime history link beyond just the event's name. Participants can register for the 5K run-walk, or enter the competitive walking division for those committed to completing the entire distance without running or jogging. Race-day registration is available before the start. Participants receive unisex shirts, and the finish area offers refreshments and music. R2R Timing provides chip-timing using MYLAPS BibTags, with results posted online during the event. Awards are given to overall winners, masters, 10-year age groups, and the top male and female walkers.
