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.

2025-05-17 08:00 - 12:00 | River Riders, 408 Alstadts Hill Road, Harpers Ferry, WV, 25425, United States
The Harper’s Ferry Half & 5k was a vision of locals as a way to showcase the beautiful landscape of our region while highlighting the rich history surrounding it. The Harpers Ferry Half races take you to scenic overlooks, through a historic Down Town where civil war ruins stand as a reminder of America’s history, up (a few hills) passing historical homes to a view overlooking the beautiful town nestled between two rivers.

The Half Marathon is a challenging and hilly course covering the expanse on Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and the Civil War era towns connecting them. Experience expansive views of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers while you enjoy a loop through Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Murphy Farm, Lower Town Harpers Ferry, John Brown’s Fort, Bolivar, Storer College, and the homes taking you back to the 1860’s. Our 5K event is a mix of trail and includes an out and back to a beautiful over look on the Murphy Farm Loop, a portion of Harpers Ferry National Park. Our Kids Event will be on site at River Riders and School House Ridge South.

Run for the Pie 10K
2025-07-19 08:00 - 10:00 | Birthday Barn at Lazy Daze Farm, 14074 Hoovers Mill Rd, Rocky Ridge, United States
***FSRC Grand Prix Event***
This is one of the Steeplechasers’ “low-key” races. You must be a club member on race day.
If you’re not a club member, you can join for only $25 at https://runsignup.com/fsrc. If you are renewing a membership, you can renew at https://runsignup.com/Club/SearchForRenew/668.
If you think you are a paid member of the club and you can’t register for free, please check the spelling of the name you used to join the club, using https://runsignup.com/Club/SearchForRenew/668. The system checks for a matching birth date, so please check your RunSignUp profile. If this still doesn’t offer the ability to register for the race for free, email membership@steeplechasers.org for assistance.
Registration: Entry fee for Steeplechaser members is a pie. Registration is open through race morning, but you must register online before coming to the race venue. We will not be holding on-site, in-person registration and cell service is poor at the race venue so you won’t be able to register from your phone when you arrive.
Course Description: The course is on lightly traveled, paved, beautiful, and hilly country roads out and back in the Thurmont area.
Prizes: The top men and ladies get their choice of pies while the rest of us choose in order of finish time.
Disclaimer/Amenities: This is a low-budget but fun event that we’ve done over and over again to fill-in gaps in the running schedule (“pie filler” Get it?). The race is adequately marked, measured, and timed, but there is minimal aid (one water station you pass twice with just water that could be self-serve if no one shows up to help). There is no traffic control (but there’s very little traffic out there).
As always, everyone runs at their own risk (not a race for pre-teen children running on their own).
Come out, have a great run, and share some pie!
