2020 marks the 32nd annual running of this great ultra-marathon on the trails of Susquehanna State Park, located in Havre de Grace, MD. The 50-kilometer course is mostly single-track trail with a mix of open fields, dirt road, and minimal paved road. Our course features a starting loop of 3.6 miles followed by two identical loops of 13.7 miles with nearly 4,300 feet of climbing throughout. Be ready for 4 stream crossings – these can be challenging depending on the water level (read: there is always the chance of getting wet feet!)

This Stepping Stone Museum is our race day headquarters as well as the start/finish line. HQ is filled with spectators, volunteers, and of course, our esteemed RD’s waiting to encourage you at mile 17.3 and shake your hand at that glorious 31-mile finish-line. Along the way, you’ll experience our world-renowned aid stations filled with everything you need to keep you hydrated, energized and inspired. If you aren’t running, volunteers and spectators are always welcome!
