Fire on the Mountain 50K Trail Race
Fire on the Mountain is a trail event in Little Orleans, MD, held in Green Ridge State Forest. The event offers two distances and uses out and back courses with multiple aid stations along the route.
The 50K is about 31.95 miles with seven aid stations on the out and back course; three stations are passed twice and there is an oasis at the midway point. The official cutoff for the 50K is 10 hours 0 seconds. The 25K is about 16.3 miles with three aid stations, one of which is passed twice. The 25K course includes roughly 6.5 miles of trail that can be technical with roots, rocks and narrow sections near the creek, plus about 9.6 miles of forest service road and improved dirt roads. All finishers who complete their event within the official cutoff receive a finisher's premium.
Registration opens on February 2, 2026. No refunds, no deferments and no transfers are allowed, though some exceptions may apply. Semi organized training runs are scheduled in September, including a training run on Sunday, September 27, 2026, that will cover portions of the red trail between about 7 and 15 miles. Volunteers are needed to staff several aid stations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
