In order to host a race in the city of Frederick, a Parade / Walk / Race Application must be filled out and submitted to the Department of Parks and Recreation. Please see https://www.cityoffrederick.com/1054/Parades-Walks-Races.
Frederick Steeplechasers Running Club, as a community service, has had the five 5k courses mentioned in the city’s application certified with the USATF. To view the course certification maps and instructions for course marking, see:
- Baker Park – https://certifiedroadraces.com/certificate/?type=l&id=MD15005NP
- Whittier – https://certifiedroadraces.com/certificate/?type=l&id=MD15012NP
- Monocacy – https://certifiedroadraces.com/certificate/?type=l&id=MD15011NP
- Riverside Park – https://certifiedroadraces.com/certificate/?type=l&id=MD17018NP
Notes:
- The city is currently recommending a “revised” Baker Park 5k route that does not utilize the bike path through the park. The current course certification does not address this revision.
- The map on the city website for Riverside Park has the turnaround in the wrong place. Please use the certification map to determine the correct turnaround location.
