Frederick County Parks & Recreation Run at the Top invites you to join us for a weekly group run beginning March 10 at Sherando Park. Runs will start every Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. and feature a route of approximately 3–5 miles.

Becky McGraw, Run at the Top Race Director and a Sherando High School cross country and track coach, will lead the group and send runners out on a predetermined route. This is a great opportunity to log some miles, connect with fellow runners, and learn more about upcoming Run at the Top race events.

All paces are welcome. We will meet at the Rotary Shelter across from the Sherando Park Pool. Participation is free, but please sign up to sign your waiver and receive communications.

Come share some miles and enjoy running in the community!

Join us for our annual trail race at Sherando Park—and get ready for an unforgettable fall challenge!

Now in its 7th year, this mixed-surface four-mile trail race takes runners through the paved paths and wooded trails of Sherando Park’s scenic mountain bike trail system. Whether you’re a seasoned trail runner or tackling your first off-road race, you’ll enjoy a challenging and rewarding course surrounded by crisp fall air and vibrant autumn colors.

✨ New for 2026: We’re excited to introduce a Mountain Bike Time Trial to this event! Cyclists will have the opportunity to test their speed and skills on the Sherando Park mountain bike trails in a timed, individual-start format, adding a whole new level of competition and excitement to race day.

Proceeds from all events will benefit the I’m Just Me Movement, supporting confidence, inclusion, and self-acceptance in our community.

Not up for four miles on trails?

We’ve got you covered! We’ll also offer an untimed One Mile Fun Run/Walk, perfect for participants who want to support the cause while enjoying a shorter, paved option. The one-mile course will be an out-and-back on the paved Sherando Park path, with a course marshal stationed at the turnaround. Mile participants will start just before the four-mile race.

Date: Saturday, September 26th

Time: 8:30 AM

Location: Sherando Park - Mountain Bike Trails

Race Day Registration & Packet Pickup: Saturday, September 26th: 7-8 am at the Race Start/Finish area
