Patapsco Valley 50K

The Patapsco Valley 50K is an annual trail running event held at Patapsco Valley State Park near Baltimore, Maryland, with race headquarters at CCBC-Catonsville. The event features two distances: a 50K and a 25K, both available as in-person or virtual races. Runners enjoy a scenic, historic, and well-marked trail course run counterclockwise in 2025, supported by five well-stocked aid stations staffed by experienced volunteers.

Participants receive a high-quality Brooks event shirt, a premium logo item, post-race food and drink, and unique finishers awards—hand-thrown mugs for 50K finishers and medals for 25K finishers. The race emphasizes community atmosphere and offers a backup date in case of extreme weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
