We'll be back at the Palmieri Activities Center (PAC) on the Mount St. Mary’s campus again this year!
Where: Palmieri Activities Center, 16376 John Walsh Way, Emmitsburg (On the Mount St. Mary’s Campus)
Why: Because you love the challenge of running wicked hills in freezing weather.
Who: FSRC members. If you’re not a current member, it’s only $25 to join the club. It's still a great deal for a 10-mile race, even if you don’t take advantage of the many other benefits of club membership.
How much: Free for Steeplechaser members
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.
Directions: From Rt. 15 North, turn left on Annandale Rd on the Mount St. Mary’s University campus. Park anywhere in the lot in front of the PAC building. That’s it!
Weather: It’s a winter race therefore the weather could be an issue. Any announcements about possible cancellations due to weather will be made on the Frederick Steeplechasers Facebook Group. Registered runners will be notified by email.
Volunteer: This was never intended to be a big event. It’s an especially challenging 10-mile route with minimal support. However, volunteers are still needed to help with parking, course marshaling, timing, etc. If you want to avoid the painful hills but still want to participate, VOLUNTEER!
