Logistics

The Frederick Visitor Center will have plenty of information on Frederick, the “nicest bathrooms in town”, as well as a spot to warm up after the run. Please park in the lot next to the Visitors Center but don’t park in their designated “visitor spots.” If we run out of spaces in the Visitor Center lot, there’s a parking ramp across the street.

Run Details

This is a casual group run that is NOT timed or held on a closed course. Runners of all abilities and paces are welcome, but must obey all traffic laws. We ask that you run on sidewalks where available and against traffic if you must enter the roadway for best visibility and safety. RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Support and Refreshments

The Steeplechasers will provide turn by turn directions and a mid-course water stop. Our friends at Charm City Run Frederick will provide post-run refreshments and breakfast at the store afterwards. We suggest you bring your own water and other energy supplements if you will need them. We look forward to seeing you out there!

Community Engagement

We’d love to answer questions about any restaurants, cafes, breweries, pubs, or shops that you see along the way.
