Girls on the Run of Mid & Western Maryland’s Frederick County 5K
2019-06-01 09:30 - 23:00 | Middletown Park, 7628 Coblentz Rd, Middletown, MD, 21769, United States
The June 1st Girls on the Run Frederick County Spring 5K will be headquartered at Frederick County’s Middletown Park, Middletown, MD. The run will be entirely on hard surfaces this year, so no more hybrid cross-country/road course! The course for this untimed, non-competitive run winds through the residential neighborhoods adjacent to the park, finishing next to the pond.
Community members are highly encouraged to participate in this wonderful and inspiring event, where nearly 300 3rd through 8th-graders will be sharing their infectious smiles as they complete their celebratory, end of season 5k. The run isn’t timed and there are no awards, but you’ll get a great tech shirt, entertainment, and be inspired by the infectious spirit of our GOTR Girls!
Info about Girls on the Run: At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event.

Nick Adenhart Memorial 5K Run/Walk
2019-06-08 08:30 - 10:00 | Williamsport Elementary School, 5 S. Clifton Dr, Williamsport, MD, 21795, United States
This is the 10th Annual Memorial Run for Nick Adenhart.
Nicholas James “Nick” Adenhart (August 24, 1986 – April 9, 2009) was a graduate of Williamsport High School. He was highly touted as a high school baseball prospect until an injury in his final game required Tommy John surgery. He was drafted by the Angels in the 14th round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft, and began playing in their minor league system after the surgery was a success. He spent three full years in the minor leagues before making his major league debut on May 1, 2008. After appearing in three games, Adenhart spent the rest of 2008 in the minor leagues developing his skills, and in 2009 he earned a spot in the Angels’ starting rotation. Unfortunately, just after pitching his first start of 2009, Nick was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver.
This tragedy affected many members of our community and this annual event raises money to be used by local youth programs at Williamsport High School.
Packet Pickup (June 7th from 6-8 PM & Race Day until 8:15)
Registration will be located in Williamsport Elementary School Gymnasium

Run for the Pie 10K
2019-07-27 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!
