Pretend like you're driving to BWI Airport. Take I95 to exit 47A/I195 east toward BWI Airport. Take Exit 3 to US1. At the bottom of the ramp, turn right. Take the very next right turn onto South Street. The park entrance will be immediately on your left about 100 yard down South Street. Turn into the park, onto River Road. Pay the park entrance fee at the toll booth. Take River Road until it comes to a T-intersection. Turn left, race staging and start is at the shelter about 200 yards down the road...
About the Races
The Patapsco Summer 5K/10K/10 mile Trail Run is actually 3 different races going on at the same time. A 5K, a 10K, and a 10 miler - pick your favorite and come out to run
Water Stops & Energy
There will be multiple water stops along the course. We'll also have sports drinks and a limited about of energy gels, just in case you need a little glucose boost.
Awards
All races and age divisions will have awards for the top 3 finishers.
Rules for the 4 race Sports Hoodie or 5 race Jacket
- It is very simple
- Just race any 4 or 5 of the races in the Seasons Series
- You can race the same distance, or different distances, in the different races
- Sign up anytime. Pre-reg, day-of, doesn't matter. As long as you do the races, you get the swag.
Afterwards
There will be snacks, drinks, and music for everyone at the finish line. Stick around, chat a bit, and cheer for the awardees. There is a very nice playground for the kids...
Age Divisions
Each race will be split into the following age divisions: Under 17, 18-24, 25-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+
Race Timing
This is a chip timed race. We use single-use tags incorporated into your race number - so no need to worry about returning them after the race. You've got things - like celebrating your big win! - to worry about other than turing in some timing chip.We will post preliminary times every 15 mins, after the first finisher crosses the line. Also, we'll be posting instant results to Racemine.com. You can access Racemine results on you Smartphone within 3 min of your finish.
The Courses
The trails are hard packed single track and wide track, with a couple of good long hills to overcome. You'll love running these fast and flowing trails while passing through light forest. All 3 courses are challenging and beautiful runs.
Course Maps
The courses are marked in with the red highlight. The races will start at the Shelters in the Avalon Area, run up the road to the gravel road. The gravel road climbs to the trails. The 5K is the smaller loop, the 10K course is the larger loop, and the 10 mile course will do the large loop, then the small loop, before going back down the gravel road to the shelters.
Volunteers
Definitely feel free to bring volunteers! We can always use more people at the water stops, and people helping with parking directions. Plus volunteers get free food after the races... Volunteers should be at the race by 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM to get situated. Please email [email protected] if you are definitely bringing a volunteer...
Number Pickup
We will be opening the Park at 7:30 AM, and number pickup will start at 7:40 AM before the races.
Refunds
We do not offer refunds, unless we have to reschedule or cancel the race.
