Bay Bridge Run canceled due to expected rain

Listen to WTOP every 10 minutes on the 8s for the latest traffic and weather updates. 

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Run for Sunday has been canceled. The Maryland Transportation Authority made the decision, citing expected rain during the scheduled time of the annual event.

Organizers posted on the event website that while they were prepared for the possibility of weather-related disruptions, they were caught off guard by the cancellation. The event will not be rescheduled. Organizers said that there will not be full refunds, but those who purchased add-ons, including beer bands and parking passes, will be refunded. Meanwhile, the planned lane closures for the run have also been called off, meaning all lanes on the Bay Bridge will remain open for travel to and from the Eastern Shore. Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this report incorrectly stated full refunds were available.

Scattered showers and humid weather continues for the DC region on Sunday

While a flood watch for the region has been lifted on Saturday evening, humid temperatures and scattered showers will persist overnight and into Sunday. WTOP Meteorologist Mike Stinneford said that the potential for heavy showers will wind down overnight, but Sunday will remain unsettled, with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the 80s.
