Event summary

Get ready for an exhilarating challenge at the Lewis Memorial 10 Miler on Saturday, January 11th, 2025, in beautiful Emmitsburg, Frederick! This unique prediction race is set at the Palmieri Activities Center (PAC) on the Mount St. Mary's campus, where participants will test their skills against the elements and each other on a hilly 10-mile course. In this exciting event, runners must leave their watches behind and aim to finish as close to their predicted times as possible, making for a fun and engaging experience.

The course features mostly paved roads with some unpaved sections, and while it promises to be a tough challenge, the camaraderie among fellow runners and the spirit of competition will keep you motivated. With a generous 2:30 time limit, this race is perfect for those looking to push their limits in winter conditions. Don't forget to bring a food item to share, because what better way to celebrate your achievement than with a hearty breakfast after the run? Join fellow FSRC members for this unforgettable adventure in the heart of Emmitsburg!

Organiser's Description

We'll be back at the Palmieri Activities Center (PAC) on the Mount St. Marys campus again this year!

This is a prediction race, so participants may not wear watches. Leave 'em in your car, your gym bag, or at home. The winner is the runner who runs closest to their predicted time. Note: FSRC Grand Prix results will be based on actual finish time.

WHERE: 16300 Old Emmitsburg Rd. (PAC Building) near Emmitsburg, Md.

WHY: Because you love the challenge of running wicked hills in freezing weather.

WHO: FSRC members. If youre not a current member, its only $25 to join the club. It's still a great deal for a 10-mile race, even if you dont take advantage of the many other benefits of club membership. If you are a current member, you may need to renew if your membership is due to expire before race day. If you need to renew or join the club, please go to https://runsignup.com/fsrc to join or https://runsignup.com/Club/SearchForRenew/668 to renew, then come back here to register for the race. If you have questions about your membership, please send email to [email protected].

HOW MUCH: Free for Steeplechaser members

REGISTRATION: Please register online before showing up on race morning, or plan on registering from your phone at the race venue. We will not be doing in-person registration.

BIB PICKUP: Bib pickup will be held on race morning starting at 8:00am inside the PAC building.

COURSE: The Lewis Run is the early season race that we love to hate. Prizes go to the closest predicted time and front runners receive our admiration and a hearty slap on the back. The course is mostly paved but REALLY HILLY! There is about a one-mile section of unpaved road.

TIME LIMIT: In order to do awards in a timely fashion and get the volunteers out of the cold, there is a 2:30 time limit for this event. That equates to a fairly generous 15 min/mile, but it's not an event for walkers.

BREAKFAST: Bring a food item to share. (We run to eat, right?)

DIRECTIONS: From Rt. 15 North, turn left on Annandale Rd on the Mount St. Marys University campus. Follow parking attendants directions. Thats it!

WEATHER: Its a winter race therefore the weather could be an issue. Any announcements about possible cancellations due to weather will be made on the Frederick Steeplechasers Facebook Group. Registered runners will be notified by email.

PARKING: Once you reach the campus, attendants will provide directions to where you should park.

VOLUNTEER: This was never intended to be a big event. Its an especially challenging 10-mile route with minimal support. However, volunteers are still needed to help with parking, course marshaling, timing, etc. . If you want to avoid the painful hills but still want to participate, VOLUNTEER!
