5K RUN/WALK

Our main event is the 5K Run/Walk where women runners and walkers of all ages and abilities enjoy the well-supported course on the campus of Frederick Community College and in the adjacent neighborhood.   This women-only event is timed with overall and age group awards, but don't worry if you're not out there to burn up the course.  All paces are welcome and we celebrate every finisher.  

LITTLE WOMEN 1K FUN RUN

Our Little Women Fun Run is for girls 13 and younger who may not be ready for the full 5K.  Strollers are permitted in this event and adult companions are welcome to accompany their little runners at no additional cost.  The 1K Fun Run starts at 7:30am near the Inflatable Arch in the parking lot.

AWARDS

We have grown (yay!) and no longer have the space for an awards ceremony. Also - we know that you want to spend time visiting with your friends/family and enjoying our race-day expo. So instead of an official ceremony,  award winners should come to the Awards table to pick up their awards. You can see if you won an award by checking your results via the QR code on your bib or the results kiosks in front of the Student Center.
