Join us for our weekly pub run at one of Frederick’s awesome breweries or pubs! Not running on Wednesday night, no problem! Every week people just come to the pub part when the runners return. The pub runners are a super friendly and welcoming group so please join in! Each week the event is posted on the FSRC Group Runs Facebook group. This page is for current paid Steeplechasers members and it’s where we post all of our events and runs. If you’re not a current Steeplechasers member, please join the club! People generally meet at 6:00 to go for the run, but look to the Facebook group to get the latest information.

If you are a current member who doesn’t use Facebook or want more pub run info, email social@steeplechasers.org to find out where we’re heading that week.
