    Free for FSRC Members

    Our low-key races are free for Steeplechaser members, so YAY! But for this race, you have to bring a pie. Homemade, store-bought - it doesn't matter.

    You must be a club member on race day in order to get free race entry.

    • If you’re not a club member, you can join at https://runsignup.com/fsrc.

    • To look up your membership by name and/or email and to renew see: https://runsignup.com/fsrc and click Membership Lookup. If your membership has expired, click the Renew Now button next to your most recent membership. We have no idea why they have Renew Now next to older memberships, so please click the right one.

    • If you think you are a paid member of the club and you still can't register, please check that the spelling of your name and your birthday match the information in your RunSignup profile.

    • If this still doesn't offer the ability to register for the race for free, email [email protected] for assistance.

    Finally - if you currently have an individual membership and would like to upgrade to "Two-In-Household" or "Family" membership in order to get the free race entry for family members, contact our membership committee at [email protected].

    Race Day Registration

    You may sign up on race day, but you'll need to do it online on your own device. We will not have paper forms or registration kiosks. Cell service is poor at the race site, so please register before you arrive.

    Course Description

    The course is a paved beautiful, but hilly country road in northern Frederick County.

    Prizes

    The top men and ladies get their choice of pies while the rest of us choose in order of finish time.

    Disclaimer/Amenities

    This is a low-budget but fun event that we’ve done over and over again to fill in gaps in the running schedule (“pie filler” Get it?). The race is adequately marked, measured, and timed, but there is minimal aid (one water station you pass twice with just water that could be self-serve if no one shows up to help). There is no traffic control (but there’s very little traffic out there).

    As always, everyone runs at their own risk (not a race for pre-teen children to run on their own).

    Come out, have a great run, and share some pie!

    Logistics

    The race will be chip timed, but still please make sure that you stay in order as you cross the finish line where volunteers will scan your bib -- we do this as a backup to resolve any missed chip reads which might occur.
