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.

Run for the Pie 10K
2023-07-22 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. You must be a club member on race day.
If you’re not a club member, you can join for only $20 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 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!
See our RunSignUp site for more information: https://runsignup.com/fsrcpierun
