Course Info
Howard's 25K Run is a point-to-point race beginning at the Frostburg trailhead of the Great Allegany Passage and finishing at the zero marker in front of the Western Maryland Station.
The distance is 25 kilometers or approximately 15.54 miles. The course is exclusively on the Great Allegany Passage and there will be mile markers at each mile of the course for the race.
Five aid stations will be in place to serve runners water and Gatorade. They will be located at Trimble Ln (3 miles), Woodcock Hollow Rd (6 miles), Cash Valley Rd (10 miles), Dakota St/Ave (13 miles), and Valley St (15 miles).
We do encourage runners with more significant hydration needs to carry additional supplies on person. We will guarantee the distance to be accurately measured, however it is NOT USATF certified and will not qualify for official records as recognized by that body.
