We will continue to LEARN about Histios, SHARE with others and HOPE for a cure. In honor of Hayden.

This non-competitive, untimed 5K is a celebration of our spring season’s program participant’s awesomeness. Community runners are encouraged to take part in this low-key, high-energy event. Walkers, runners, joggers, and skippers of all ages, genders, and ability levels are welcome! This is the perfect event for those who’ve just begun running or those intimidated by the thought of entering a competitive event.
Click HERE to register for GOTR Mid Maryland’s, Frederick County Spring 5K. Click HERE for more information on GOTR Mid Maryland.
Our 3rd – 8th-Grade GOTR Girls, their running buddies, and community runners will be treated to a course with three separately distinctive sections. First, they’ll wend their way cross-country style in the grass around the outer perimeter of the park and past Middletown Park’s lake and frisbee golf course. Transitioning from grass to pavement, they’ll run a loop through a neighborhood to the east and then retrace their steps back into the park. Shortly after re-entering the park, our participants will begin another neighborhood tour, this time to the south. The smiling GOTR girls (and their Running Buddies) will wend their way back toward the finish line via the neighborhood’s sidewalks, re-entering the park again just prior to crossing the finish line where friends and family will be gleefully cheering for all!
The Spring 5K is also an important fundraiser for GOTR Mid & Western Maryland, raising funds that allow us to bring the program to more locations and to make a difference in more young girls’ lives!

2018-07-21 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!
