Catoctin 50k Trail Run

The Catoctin 50k Trail Run, scheduled for June 21, 2025, in Frederick, MD, offers a challenging out-and-back course through the scenic Catoctin Mountain Park and Gambrill State Park. Participants can choose between a 50k and a 25k distance, both featuring rocky trails and demanding elevation changes. The event emphasizes self-sufficiency, requiring runners to carry their hydration and navigate the course without extensive markings.

Aid stations provide essential supplies, and post-race food will be available. The race has a rich history, having started in 1994, and aims to foster a supportive environment for both seasoned ultrarunners and newcomers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
