Organiser's description
This year (2025) marks the third year of this event, which honors local legend Jeff Scuffins. Additionally, it will be the first year that we are adding a four-person relay to the race schedule.
Jeff Scuffins (Scuff) was a well-established track and cross-country standout who graduated from North Hagerstown High School in 1980. He was a Maryland state track champion and still holds school records for the 1,600 meters (4:18.94) and 3,200 meters (9:25).
While attending Hagerstown Junior College, now known as Hagerstown Community College (HJC/HCC), Jeff earned two Junior College National Championship titles, including setting a meet record of 13:53.0 in the indoor three-mile during his first title in 1981. Scuffins still holds HJCs/HCCs school records for the 5,000 meters (14:24) and 10,000 meters (29:45.8). He was inducted into the HJC Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993.
Jeff later competed for Clemson University, where he graduated in 1985 as an All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer in cross-country and the 10,000 meters on the track. His post-graduate running career is well-documented, with his most notable performance being his record-setting win at the 1987 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. His course-record time of 201 still stands.
This event will take place in the historic northern portions of Hagerstown, MD, starting and finishing near Oswald Park at 211 Prospect Ave. Participants will race on a certified 5K (3.1-mile) loop, requiring them to complete two laps.
