Chase The Chicken

Think you can outrun a "chicken"? Challenge yourself at the second annual Chase the Chicken 3K Fun Run/Walk taking place at this year's Wicomico County Fair. Winning is simple! Cross the finish line before the "chicken" and receive a complimentary chicken dinner from the Lions Club 5' Fry Pan. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

All runners registered by Sunday, Aug. 4 will receive a race shirt.

New this year! We're introducing a "little chick," who has been training hard for this event! Kids 12 and under will have the opportunity to chase 'em down!

Costumes are encouraged! Awards given for "Best Farmer" and "Best Egg" costumes. Runners are encouraged to stick around after the run and check out the other fun attractions and events at the Wicomico County Fair.
