Pocomoke fitness initiative!
(From Pocomoke City Mayor Todd J. Nock)
Introducing the Mayor’s 50 Mile Challenge
Pocomoke, it’s time to get moving.
I am excited to launch the Mayor’s 50 Mile Challenge, a community-wide fitness initiative designed to encourage healthy living, friendly competition, and community engagement. The challenge is simple: log 50 miles between July 1, 2026 and July 31, 2026 using the Nike Run Club app. Whether you walk, jog, run, or do a combination of all three, every mile counts.
This challenge is for everyone. You do not have to be a runner to participate. The goal is to get outside, stay active, and challenge yourself while joining fellow residents in a citywide movement toward better health and wellness.
Challenge Details
• Dates: July 1, 2026 – July 31, 2026
• Goal: 50 Miles
• Track your miles using the Nike Run Club app
• Walkers, joggers, and runners are all welcome
• Open to residents of all ages
Grab a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or church member and participate together. Walk or run in groups, encourage one another, and enjoy everything our community has to offer. We want to see Pocomoke outside, active, and moving together.
As Mayor, I will be participating right alongside you. Throughout the month, I will share updates, highlight participants, and encourage our community as we work toward our goals.
At the end of the challenge, participants who complete the full 50 miles will receive special recognition, and we will celebrate the accomplishments of our community together.
The Mayor’s 50 Mile Challenge is about more than fitness. It is about building community, creating healthy habits, and demonstrating what we can accomplish when we come together with a common purpose.
Who’s in? Let me know in the comments (mayor's Facebook page) and get ready to take the first step on July 1.

Mini mystery in the Pocomoke at Snow Hill-
(WMDT)
SNOW HILL, Md. – Emergency responders were on scene at Byrd Park in Snow Hill Friday evening.
The Snow Hill Police Department says an individual reported that his magnetic fishing equipment had attached to something heavy and metal next to the southern portion of the boat ramp at the park.
A side sonar scan was conducted and revealed a frame that appeared to be some type of vehicle.
As a result, the Ocean City Dive Team was called in, and after 2 hours of searching, a large wooden frame with metal cross supports was removed from the river.
Some locals believe it may be the remnants of an old box car, but authorities are not certain.
Police say additional scans of the bulkhead surrounding the boat ramp will be conducted in the near future to rule out any vehicles.
