MD Heat Trail Race
The MD Heat Trail Race, held in Elkridge, Maryland at the Patapsco Pickall Area, offers challenging trail running options of 25K and 50K distances. The course features rolling single-track trails with over 2,000 feet of elevation gain, including technical rocky sections, two river crossings, and a scenic climb to Valley Overlook. The 50K race consists of two loops of the 25K course, with mandatory wristband checkpoints.
Aid stations provide real food, water, and Tailwind nutrition. After the race, participants enjoy a festive after-party with craft beer, BBQ, and socializing under large pavilions. Parking is available on-site, with encouragement to carpool due to limited spaces. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
