About the race
Lake Needwood XC is a trail event at Needwood Lake in Derwood, MD. The primary course is a 10 km cross-country loop that runs over hills, mud, grass, and singletrack trails. For this year the race has been removed from the club Trail Series and will not earn points toward the 2026 overall or age-group awards.
Distances:
- 10 km trail course over hills, mud, grass, and trails.
- 1/4 mile youth run, not timed, free with prior guardian registration.
A course map is available from the organizer. The youth run does not use timing chips; all youth participants must be registered by a parent or guardian prior to race day. Parents or guardians do not need to register separately to accompany a child.
Registration details follow club procedures: the race is free for MCRRC members who have signed up for a 2026 bib and chip, with chip exchanges or a deposit process noted for those without a current chip. Non-members pay a fee ($22 for ages 18 and over; $11.60 for those under 18); online registration remains open through the start of the event, and bib and chip pickup occurs on race morning near the start area.
The event is organized and staffed by volunteers; volunteer sign-up is available. Non-member registrations are not eligible for monetary refunds but may be transferred to another MCRRC low-key event by contacting the organizers.
Venue: Needwood Lake, 15680 Needwood Lake Circle, Derwood, MD 20855, United States. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
