We'll again be using the scenic, traditional 4-mile hybrid road/Cross Country course that winds through historic Burkittsville (yes, that Blair Witch town), Boordy's South Mountain Vineyard, historic Burkittsville Union Cemetery, farmland owned by South Mountain Creamery, and the Distillery Lane Ciderworks' orchard.
Traditionally, we've sold out, so registering early is recommended!
New for 2023 – A 3-mile course for walkers!
Walkers will be untimed and travel through town, Boordy's vineyard, the cemetery, and farmland and return to the Ruritan. You'll get the same finisher's awards (and Spook Hill "specials" at participating establishments) as the 4-milers and you can explore the orchard on your own after our awards ceremony.
Finisher's Awards: Finishers will receive one of our traditional wine glasses AND a finisher's award yet to be determined.
Visit the participating wineries/cideries/eateries on the Spook Hill Tasting Trail after your run. Boordy Vineyards will be on-site offering tastings and sales. DLC, which is across the street from race HQ, should be opening at 9:45. Antietam Creek Vineyards, Orchid Cellar, and Willow Oaks should be back on the Spook Hill Tasting Trail in 2023. See the race website's Post-Run Page for details, hours, and dates of operation.
Overland Timing is providing timing services.
Unique awards for the top 3 M&F runners!
