Frederick Douglass Honor Society/YMCA of Talbot County 10-Mile Race & Celebration
<!--StartFragment-->
May 1, 2010
Retrace the 10-mile path Frederick Douglass walked from St. Michaels to his confinement at the Talbot County jail in Easton after a failed escape attempt in April 1836.
His imprisonment at the jail set the stage for a sequence of events that led to his eventual escape to freedom. His accomplishments changed history and made extensive improvements in the lives of all Americans.
Walkers, runners and wheelchair athletes will retrace this historic route to raise monies for the creation of a memorial to honor Frederick Douglass on the Talbot County Courthouse lawn. Half of the race proceeds will be given to the YMCA of Talbot County.
After the Race, join the Celebration in Easton, now commemorating its 300th anniversary…lots of music, food, vendors and fun!
