The Algonquin 50K

The Algonquin 50K is a challenging ultramarathon held in Pocomoke River State Park, Maryland, on the Delmarva Peninsula. The mostly flat, fast course covers about 31 miles on 95% trail, including single-track and horse paths, with sandy sections and possible standing water adding difficulty. The race features fully stocked aid stations every 5–6 miles offering water, nutrition, snacks, and cake.

Runners face variable winter weather conditions, and safety is ensured by volunteers and horse sweeps. The event is community-driven and eco-conscious, supporting trail access in the region. Finishers receive a handmade ceramic mug, with awards for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
