The Frederick Running Festival is a multi-day running event held at the Frederick Fairgrounds in Frederick, Maryland. The festival takes place on May 2 and May 3, 2026, and several races finish on the fairgrounds.

A combined entry called the Nut Job Challenge pairs the half marathon and the 5K. Some race entries include charity registration options.
