The Maritime Republic of Eastport (MRE) is a nonprofit organization that holds several charity events each year. Created in 1998, the MRE has distributed over $500,000 to local charities and organizations from funds raised at the annual .05K Bridge Run and Tug of War events.

Origins

When the Maryland State Highway Administration announced plans to close the Spa Creek Bridge connecting Annapolis to the community of Eastport for three weeks of repairs, residents and business owners started talking about revolution.
