If coronavirus-based gathering restrictions are eased and we can safely accommodate more participants in Burkittsville on race day, we will raise the cap and invite those on the wait list to join us on a first-come, first-served basis.
Our traditional wine-glasses will be back for in-person Spook Hill participants. We are also working with the wineries on the Spook Hill Tasting Trail (and hope to have an additional, nearby tasting opportunity added to the list this year!) to ensure their participation again this year.
Spook Hill’s sister event, the Makin’ Hay 10K is planned for Sunday, October 17th, so why not make a weekend of it?

From Jan: Please join us for happy hour on Thursday, May 19th at Atlantic Grille in Urbana! I drove past this gem last month on my way to the Surf House happy hour and thought I needed to keep up with the seafood theme.

Including some vegetarian options!

Run for the Pie 10K
2021-07-24 08:00 - 10:00 | Entrance to Watershed, 6010 Mountaindale Road, Thurmont, MD, United States
***FSRC Grand Prix Event***
This is one of the Steeplechasers’ “low-key” races. Register online or show up a little bit ahead of time on race day to check-in.
Registration: Entry fee for Steeplechaser members is a pie. Entry fee for non-members is a pie plus $10.
Course Description: The course is a paved beautiful but hilly country road out and back along the base of the Catoctin Mountains. Actual route: East on Mountaindale Road, north on Putnam Road, run up and down a series of small hills then run down a big hill, turn around where indicated and go back.
Prizes: The top men and ladies get their choice of pies while the rest of us choose in order of finish time.
Directions from Frederick: Take U.S. 15 North to the left on to Hansonville Rd. (by Mr. Natural’s) and make an immediate right onto Mountaindale Rd. Follow Mountaindale Rd. through the fish ponds and across Bethel Rd. until you come to an intersection where Putnam Rd. is on your right. Go left to stay on Mountaindale Rd. and proceed toward the entrance to the Frederick Watershed Area. Proceed to a gravel lot on the right hand side where you should see a display time clock and people dressed like runners carrying pies (not a common sight). Try to carpool – parking limited.

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).
Portapotties at the start!
As always, everyone runs at their own risk (not a race for pre-teen children).
Come out, have a great run, and share some pie!
