Rick O'Donnell Memorial Ultra Challenge

The memorial 5 Mile Trail Run & Ultra Challenge takes place at Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm in Mount Airy, Maryland. It offers three ways to test yourself: a 5-mile trail run, a 4-hour challenge, and an 8-hour ultra, all on a hilly, scenic course that features a five-mile loop of farm lanes, grassy hay-field trails, and wooded sections. Aid stations provide food and hydration, with volunteer support across race day.

Proceeds benefit the Frederick Steeplechasers Memorial Scholarship Fund, which has awarded over $60,000 since 2016. The event emphasizes community, charity, and sport, with awards for top finishers and mileage leaders across events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
