    Sign up to support the Frederick Steeplechasers' race services program.

    FSRC has decades of experience providing timing, scoring, and course marking race directors in the local Frederick community. Our services are a low-cost alternative for small races that require a simple approach.

    Our race services "business" provides a modest revenue source for the club, allowing us to keep our membership fees as low as possible.

    We rely on volunteers to provide the labor on race day and we invite the FSRC community to sign up to help out with such tasks as:

    • Help Race-Day Lead to setup/teardown finish line

    • Help with course marking (setup and teardown)

    • Pull bib tags as runners cross finish line

    • Operate TimeMachine, capturing bib numbers and finish times

    • Arrange pull tags in order of finish on bib tag board

    • Use TimeMachine printout to write finish times on each bib tag

    Volunteers do not need to be current FSRC members and all volunteers must sign up. Volunteers should be 16 years or older for staffing the finish line as a timing helper and 18 or older for helping with course marking.

    Program Description:The FSRC Half Marathon Training Program is ideal for the first-time or intermediate half-marathoner, and is a great way to improve your running and meet other runners in our community. Each participant is given a training plan including recommendations for mileage, cross-training, and days off. While some runs will need to be done on your own, volunteer coaches lead group runs twice a week. Group runs are encouraged, but not mandatory. The FSRC Community Forum provides a place to coordinate additional runs with other participants, and get support and advice from more experienced participants and your volunteer coaches. We try our best to answer your questions, or at least connect you with someone who can. Participants must be at least 16 years of age on program start date.
