Frederick Running Festival Course Training Run: 12 Miles
April 19 @ 8:00 am
In 2025, the Frederick Running Festival will continue its long-standing tradition of hosting supported on-course training runs to help you prepare for race day, preview the course, and check out historic downtown Frederick. With help from the Frederick Steeplechasers Running Club, we will have a 12 mile supported course training run that is FREE and open to the public.
It will be held on April 19th at 8 am at the Frederick Visitor Center, 151 S East Street, Frederick MD 21701.
Please try to arrive about 10-15 mins early for stretching. The Visitor center will open at 7:45am for runners to use the restroom.
Please park in the lot next to the Visitors Center but don’t park in their designated “visitor spots.” If we run out of spaces in the Visitor Center lot, there’s a parking ramp across the street.
This is a casual group run and not timed or held on a closed course. Please obey all traffic laws, and run against traffic or on sidewalks where available for best visibility and safety. Run at your own risk.
The Steeplechasers will provide turn by turn directions and a mid-course water stop. Our friends at Charm City Run Frederick will provide post-run refreshments and breakfast at the store afterwards (925 West 7th Street Frederick MD). We suggest you bring your own water and other energy supplements if you will need them.
We look forward to seeing you out there!
