TEST

A prediction run is entirely different from other races that you’ve run in the past. Rather than finishing first or running the fastest, the object of a prediction run is to finish as close to a certain time as possible. In the case of the Howard County Striders prediction runs, the goal is to finish as close to 11:00am as possible. One way the Striders prediction runs differ from many other runs is that you get to start whenever you want – whoever finishes closest to 11:00am wins. Oh, and one important thing, you CANNOT use any sort of timing device. Also, no baby strollers, iPods, headphones or animals. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Tripp Scholar Athlete Fund. The run is located at the Jeffers Hill Neighborhood Center, 6031 Tamar Drive, Columbia, MD 21045

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

Get ready for a course that showcases the very best of Wisp’s Appalachian terrain. Your adventure begins at the resort base, climbing swiftly up the wooded ski-runs and service roads into the heart of the mountain. You’ll traverse flowing single-track, cut across wide double-track snow-cat paths, and ride high on ridge trails that offer sweeping views across Deep Creek Lake. At the summit the vista opens up: panoramic mountain views, crisp air, and a rewarding vantage point before the real fun begins. From there, you’ll dive into the descent - rock-strode, tree-lined corridors, and flowing ski-trail connectors that funnel you back toward the village. The final stretch brings you flying down toward the resort base, finishing at the heart of Wisp Resort where an incredible post-trek after-party awaits. Cold drinks, tasty food, music, and a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts will make crossing the finish line even sweeter.  Choose your distance: 7, 14, 21, or 28 miles, and complete
