Rick O'Donnell Memorial Ultra Challenge

The Rick O'Donnell Memorial 5 Mile Trail Run & Ultra Challenge takes place at Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm, 8253 Dollyhyde Rd, Mount Airy, Maryland. Hosted by the Frederick Steeplechasers Running Club, the event features three options: a 5-mile trail run, a 4-hour challenge, and an 8-hour ultra. The course is a single, hilly five-mile loop composed of farm lanes, grassy trails through hay fields, and wooded sections.

Proceeds support the FSRC Memorial Scholarship Fund, with more than $60,000 awarded since 2016. The race honors legacy runners and emphasizes character and perseverance, with volunteer support and a pint glass and a technical tee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
