Run for the Pie 10K
2022-07-23 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!

Makin’ Hay 10K & 5K
2022-04-23 08:30 - 10:30 | Catoctin Creek Nature Center, 2929 Sumantown Rd, Middletown, MD, United States
The 10K is an FSRC Grand Prix Event.
This scenic and rolling 10K course will take you on a journey through some of the prettiest farmland in Frederick County. Spring will be ushering forth color as you run past numerous farms, along Catoctin Creek on a gravel road, and across two, historic one-lane, wooden deck bridges spanning Catoctin Creek.
The 5K has almost exactly half of the elevation gain/loss as the 10K, while utilizing, for the most part, an entirely different but ever-so-scenic course. 5-year age group awards for both races!!!

Lewis Memorial 10-Miler
2022-04-16 08:00 - 10:30 | Eastview Club House, 7501 Oakmont Drive, Frederick, MD
** FSRC GRAND PRIX EVENT **
IMPORTANT: The start time for the race has been changed to 8:00am in an effort to avoid some of the traffic on the course. Please plan accordingly.
This is a prediction race, so participants may not wear watches. Leave ’em in your car, your gym bag or at home. The winner is the runner who runs closest to their predicted time.
FSRC Grand Prix results will be based on actual finish time.
Unique for 2022: This event is normally a winter event, but this year was rescheduled to this spring date. The new date puts it in a great position to make it a celebration of Easter and Spring renewal! So put on your bunny ears and brightest Easter egg colors and let’s hop into the season! Something tells me spring is going to feel extra special this year! LET’S CELEBRATE!Note: If you registered for the earlier date, you are still registered.
Where: Eastview Clubhouse on Oakmont Drive in Frederick
Why: Because you love the challenge of running wicked hills in freezing weather (it builds character)
Who: FSRC members. If you’re not a current member, it’s only $20 to join the club. Still a great deal for a 10-mile race, even if you don’t take advantage of the many other benefits of club membership. If you are a current member, you may need to renew if your membership is due to expire before race day. If you need to renew or join the club, please go to https://runsignup.com/fsrc to join or https://runsignup.com/Club/SearchForRenew/668 to renew. If you have questions about your membership, please send email to membership@steeplechasers.org.
How much: Free for Steeplechaser members.
Online Registration: Registration is online-only and is available through race morning. But please preregister if you can to help save volunteer effort on race day.
https://runsignup.com/fsrclewisrun
What else: The Lewis Run is the early season race that we love to hate. Prizes go to the closest predicted time and front runners receive our admiration and a hearty slap on the back. The course is paved but REALLY HILLY! In order to do awards in a timely fashion and get the volunteers out of the cold, there is a 2:30 time limit for this event. That equates to a fairly generous 15 min/mile, but it’s not an event for walkers.
Breakfast: Bring a food item to share.
Directions: From Rt. 40 (West Patrick Street in Frederick), turn onto Waverly Drive by the Frederick Town Mall. Follow speed bumps to Shookstown Road. Go left and begin to climb. Watch for Lakeview Drive on the left, but don’t turn on it. Make the next left onto Oakmont Drive (it’s hard to see). Go down a steep hill to a lake with a clubhouse on the left. That’s it!
Registration: Please register online before showing up on race morning, or plan on registering from your phone at the race venue. We will not be doing in-person registration.
Questions: Contact Mark Lawrence, your low-key race director. mark.lawrence@steeplechasers.org
Weather: It’s a winter race and parking can sometimes be an issue if there has been significant snow. Any announcements about possible cancellations due to weather will be made on the Frederick Steeplechasers Facebook Group. Registered runners will be notified by email.
Parking: (BIG DEAL AT THIS EVENT!) PLEASE plan to carpool or be dropped off or get to the event by bike or on foot. Parking is very limited at the venue!
Volunteers: This was never intended to be a big event. It’s an especially challenging 10-mile route with minimal support. But volunteers are much needed as course marshals to help keep runners safe on the hilly 10-mile route, so if you want to avoid the painful hills but still want to participate, VOLUNTEER! Volunteers should contact Race Director, Mark Lawrence on Facebook or by emailing mark.lawrence@steeplechasers.org.
