Q: What races do the Steeplechasers put on?

We have four Signature Races and four Low-Key Races . The Signature Races are our big-deal races with lots of amenities. The net proceeds of these races are donated to charitable organizations/projects in the Frederick community. Our low-key races are simple (and fun!) events and are free for FSRC members.

Race Services

What methodology do you use for timing?

We are low-cost and old-school! Timing is performed manually by clocking runners in as they finish on a fancy printing stopwatch. Bib pull-tags are collected as runners finish to confirm the finishing order and sort out any issues or discrepancies.

What services do the Steeplechasers provide for community races and how much does it cost?

We provide affordable finish line/timing, course marking, and promotion services. For more information, see our Race Services page.

Is there a discount for FSRC members registering for FSRC races?

Low-key races are free so that’s a big discount! We do not offer discounts for our Signature Races, but if you plan ahead and watch the FSRC communication channels, the early-bird entry fees are very reasonable.
