JFK 50 - Mile 19 Aid Station
2023-11-18 08:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Lock 34, C&O Canal, Lock 34 C&O Canal, Knoxville, MD, United States
Come out and cheer on the runners at the FSRC JFK Mile 19 Aid station! Our aid station has taken first-place honors a few times, and we’re looking forward to getting back out there in 2023!

Our aid station is located at Lock 34 on the C&O canal. You’ll see a small parking lot off of Harper’s Ferry Road but you aren’t allowed to park there. There are just a few spaces and they are reserved for those of us bringing lots of supplies and for the emergency radio volunteer.

DIRECTIONS:

You will NOT be able to get there the usual way as Sandy Hook Rd is still closed. Use GPS (which knows about the closure) to take the long way and arrive via Harpers Ferry Rd.

PARKING: The options are admittedly not great. It’s about a mile walk from the Harpers Ferry Station Lot (fee) using the footbridge and the C&O towpath. It’s a pleasant walk.

We have permission from the owner of Blue Mountain Retreat Center to use their parking area on Hoffmaster Road. She asks that we use the larger area on the left of driveway and park closely together. Address is: 1032 Hoffmaster Rd, Knoxville, MD 21758 https://goo.gl/maps/AXAQD8mMBPe1A2Kn8Finally, you could try parking in the Fort Duncan Parking area: https://goo.gl/maps/cV1ZtjqDebViWfvD9

If you use either of those two options be VERY careful walking on the road. There is no shoulder. Carpooling is encouraged

No need to sign up as a volunteer – just show up!

Damascus Freedom 5K
2023-09-09 09:11 - 23:00 | Damascus Regional Park, 23723 Kings Valley Road, Damascus, MD, 20872, United States
We like to think that while there are a billion races out there, our Damascus Freedom 5K feels like none of them. Come on out and see for yourself.
The Vietnam War occured before many of us were born but make no mistake, the stories from that era are very, very important and there is so much for us to learn. We have incredible heroes and history around us and don’t even know it, but sadly those numbers are dwindling. I’m pleased to invite our Vietnam veterans to this year’s event and to announce that a portion of the event proceeds will go to support the efforts of The National Vietnam War Museum so that future generations can learn about that era. Vietnam Vets: Please register HERE.
Two races: Damascus Freedom 5K + Kid’s Quarter Mile FREEdom Fun Run. Participation in the Kid’s Quarter Mile FREEdom Fun Run and all kid’s activities are entirely free.
However this is MUCH more than just a race. There’s something for everyone (especially the kids!).

Playground

Music provided by K-Sef Entertainment

Tons of food (including Jimmie Cone! J&P! Much more!)

Balloon items for the kids made on the spot

Oh yeah, and we have our 5K and kids races.

If you have a US flag that is in bad shape that you plan to discard, please bring it to the race. Flags collected at check in will be turned over to Damascus American Legion Post 171 where they will be retired in the proper manner with dignity and respect.
