Tour through 13.1 miles of scenic & historic Frederick!

The half marathon is open to participants at least 14 years of age on race day. The race will begin and end at the Frederick Fairgrounds.

The Half Marathon will start at 7am and with a staggered start. Runners will be assigned start times based on your estimated finish time. The course will remain open for 3 hours and 16 minutes, closing on a continuous pace of 14:57 minutes per mile. If you are unable to maintain this pace, please e-mail us immediately at customerservice@corrigansports.com to work out a solution for you. You may be asked to move off the course and continue as a pedestrian as the course must reopens to traffic.


We will have 7 aid stations on the course, each stocked with water and Gatorade. Select locations will also offer fruit, salty snacks, and various flavored HUMA Gels. Each aid station will have at least one port-a-pot and a SELF HELP Kit with basic runner amenities.

The first runner will start at 7am with the half marathon field. There is not a separate start for the Relay Teams. The second team member will need to be at the exchange zone well before the fastest runners pass by, as area roads will close. Transportation from the Frederick Fairgrounds to the exchange point will be provided for the second runners. Transportation from the exchange point back to the fairgrounds will be also provided for the first runners.

On the course, signs will designate the location of the upcoming exchange point. Upon entering the exchange area, incoming runners should make sure their bib number is visible.

Waiting runners will be stationed in a designated zone according to their team’s bib number. Zones are broken down for every 100 runners (i.e. Bib #9000-9099; 9100-9199; 9200-9299; 9300-9399). Incoming runners should know their bib number and look for these zone signs.

Each relay runner will pass the ankle band to the next relay runner at the relay exchange point. Depending on the exchange location, timing mats may be located before or after the exchange area. We suggest the outgoing runner test the strap for security before starting. Do not cross the timing mat more than once with your timing chip.
