Spook Hill Cider & Wine 4 Mile Run

Burkittsville, MD
THE 2025 SPOOK HILL CIDER & WINE 4-MILE RUN HAS BEEN CANCELED, but we hope to bring this classic back in 2026, so put it on your calendar for next year!  Why did we cancel the 2025 race?  The short answer is that one of the key landowners on the course has put their property on the market, thus our ability to utilize the orchard portion of the course is in question. We will reach out to the new owners at the appropriate time to begin land-use negotiations.  I’ve always prided myself on giving our runners a great course and a wonderful, inclusive race-day experience. Hopefully we will be able to bring Spook Hill back, bigger and better than ever, in 2026!  Most appreciably, Bill Susa, Race Director, SMHS Runs  email: spookhill4mile@gmail.com
