Event Description

This low key race for the Frederick Steeplechasers Running Club was introduced in 2017. It's a beautiful paved trail run at Riverside Park next to the Monocacy River. No traffic!

Why: We wanted a new race that wasn't in Baker Park, and we thought one around Independence Day would be fun!

Free for FSRC Members

Free for Steeplechaser members (you'll be given a 100% discount at checkout), $10 for non-members. Registration is here or on-site race morning. If you’re not a club member, you can join on race day for $20 to enjoy many other benefits throughout the year.  

You can join the club at the same time you register here. If you think you are a paid member of the club and you can't register for free, please check the spelling of the name you used to join the club, using https://steeplechasers.org/membership/registered-members/. The system checks for a matching birth date, so please check your RunSignUp profile. If this still doesn't offer the discount check with membership@steeplechasers.org to make sure your birth date is set correctly for the club.
