JFK 50 – Mile 19 Aid Station

November 19, 2022 @ 8:00 am12:00 pm

Come out and cheer on the runners at the FSRC JFK Mile 19 Aid station! Our aid station has taken first-place honors a few times, and we’re looking forward to getting back out there in 2022!

Our aid station is located at Lock 34 on the C&O canal.

To get there, take U.S. 340 to the traffic light just before you cross the river and make a left onto Valley/Keep Tryst Rd. Follow Keep Tryst Rd. to a right onto Sandy Hook Rd. Follow under 340 and past the RR tunnel and past the trail entrance to Maryland Heights until you reach Hoffmaster Rd. on the right. Once past Hoffmaster Rd. there is a little parking area on the left. That’s where we meet.
However: The few parking spaces above the aid station are reserved and the parking lot at Maryland Heights is permanently closed. It’s about a mile walk from the Harpers Ferry Station Lot (fee) using the footbridge and the towpath.
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/AXAQD8mMBPe1A2Kn8
Finally, 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!
