Join us for our weekly pub run at one of Frederick’s awesome breweries or pubs! Not running on Wednesday night, no problem! Every week people just come to the pub part when the runners return. The pub runners are a super friendly and welcoming group so please join in! Each week the event is posted on the FSRC Group Runs Facebook group. This page is for current paid Steeplechasers members and it’s where we post all of our events and runs. If you’re not a current Steeplechasers member, please join the club! People generally meet at 6:00 to go for the run, but look to the Facebook group to get the latest information.

If you are a current member who doesn’t use Facebook or want more pub run info, email social@steeplechasers.org to find out where we’re heading that week.

JFK 50 - Mile 19 Aid Station
2025-11-22 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 is located at Lock 34 on the C&O canal. You’ll see a small parking lot off of Harper’s Ferry Road but you aren’t allowed to park there. There are just a few spaces and they are reserved for those of us bringing lots of supplies and for the emergency radio volunteer.

PARKING: The options are admittedly not great. It’s about a mile walk from the Harpers Ferry Station Lot (fee) using the footbridge and the C&O towpath. It’s a pleasant walk.

We have 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/AXAQD8mMBPe1A2Kn8Finally, you could try parking in the Fort Duncan Parking area: https://goo.gl/maps/cV1ZtjqDebViWfvD9

If you use either of those two options be VERY careful walking on the road. There is no shoulder. Carpooling is encouraged

No need to sign up as a volunteer – just show up!
