Trail Races in Maryland: The 8 Races Worth Training For
Maryland racing runs along the Appalachian Trail and C&O Canal in the state's western reaches, home to the historic JFK 50 Mile, plus Cunningham Falls and Gambrill State Parks near Thurmont for the Catoctin 50K. Expect rocky Appalachian ridgeline mixed with flatter canal towpath, a rare course pairing.
