Welcome to the 11th Annual Rick's Run
October 8 2023
We have a new venue for 2023! Rick's Run has been moved for 2023 due to construction at Greenbrier State Park. The 2023 edition of of the race will be held at Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm, about 25 minutes east-northeast of Frederick City.
Rick's Run honors the memory of beloved FSRC runners, including Rick O' Donnell, Larry Key, and John Godinet. These runners embody the traits we most admire: character, perseverance, kindness, and a profound joy in sharing their love of running.

Who We Help
Net proceeds from the Rick O'Donnell 5 Mile Trail Run and Ultra Challenge benefit the Frederick Steeplechasers Memorial Scholarship Fund. The race raised $9,519 for the scholarship fund in 2021.
Scholarships are awarded in the spring to deserving high school seniors who embody the character and integrity of the Steeplechaser members to whom we dedicate this race. The Frederick Steeplechasers have awarded $54,000 in scholarships to 33 recipients since 2016. To learn more, visit our FSRC Memorial Scholarship page.
