About the race
The Rick O'Donnell Memorial 5 Mile Trail Run & Ultra Challenge takes place at Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm in Mount Airy, Maryland. In its 13th year, the event offers three ways to test endurance: a single 5-mile trail loop, a 4-hour challenge, and an 8-hour ultra challenge. The hilly course winds through farm lanes, grassy hay-field trails, and wooded paths around Stillpoint Farm, delivering a rural, supportive atmosphere.
Net proceeds benefit the Frederick Steeplechasers Memorial Scholarship Fund, with FSRC having awarded over $60,000 to 36 recipients since 2016. Runners, volunteers, and spectators celebrate character, perseverance, and community in this traditional autumn race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
