Spook Hill Cider & Wine Run
2021-10-16 08:30 - 10:30 (America/New_York) | Burkittsville Ruritan, 500 East Main Street, Burkittsville, MD, 21718, United States
*Grand Prix Event*
*Equalizer Event*
Run the in-person Spook Hill Cider & Wine 4-Mile Run* or the virtual version, whichever you’re comfortable with! *Depending on coronavirus mitigation procedures expected to be in effect in October, Spook Hill’s traditional 4-mile distance may be reduced to a 5K with the orchard loop being dropped for this year.
We will strive to make the in-person experience as safe as possible for participants and volunteers alike. That being said, on-site participants will be expected to follow any and all coronavirus mitigation measures that the event Covid safety plan calls for. This safety plan will be published on the website closer to race day and will be emailed to all participants prior to the event. At a minimum, expect staggered starts and mask mandates while not actually on the course.
Registration is being capped at 220 for the in-person event at this time. Persons expressing interest in registering after the cap has been reached will have the opportunity to join the wait list. 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?

JFK 50 Mile 19 Aid Station
2021-11-20 08:00 - 12:00 | 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 2021!
Our aid station is located at Lock 34 on the C&O canal.
To get there, take U.S. 340 to the traffic light just before you cross the river and make a left onto Valley/Keep Tryst Rd. Follow Keep Tryst Rd. to a right onto Sandy Hook Rd. Follow under 340 and past the RR tunnel and past the trail entrance to Maryland Heights until you reach Hoffmaster Rd. on the right. Once past Hoffmaster Rd. there is a little parking area on the left. That’s where we meet.
However: the National Park Service has asked us not to park in the lot above the aid station, and the parking lot at Maryland Heights is currently closed. It’s about a mile walk from the Harpers Ferry Station Lot (fee) using the footbridge and the towpath. Or park at the National Park Visitor’s Center, take the shuttle into town, and walk to Lock 34 via the towpath.
New Parking option arranged by Anne Shubert: We’ve gotten 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/AXAQD8mMBPe1A2Kn8

2022-04-10 08:00 - 13:00 | Gettysburg Gateway Complex, 20 Presidential Circle, Gettysburg, PA, 17325, United States

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.
