The 30th Annual 7-Mile Bridge Run is scheduled for Saturday, April 9, 2011. If you are interested in running this race, send in a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (business size) to request an

may want to consider sending your prepaid self-addressed USPS overnight mail to receive your application and return it the same way. The fee for 2011 has not been determined yet.

The 7-Mile Bridge Run is put on by THE MARATHON RUNNERS CLUB, a small group of individuals who put this event together for local youth organizations.
