After an incredible 24-mile journey, Katie Pumphrey completed her swim from the Bay Bridge to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor on Tuesday afternoon.
Pumphrey began her swim around 3 a.m. at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, near the Bay Bridge. Fourteen hours later, she arrived at the Inner Harbor wall at about 5:13 p.m.
Along the way, family members sailed alongside Pumphrey and cheered her on.
And upon her arrival at the Inner Harbor waterfront, Pumphrey was met with an even larger crowd of supporters.
