The GPS Big Gunpowder Trail is a donation supported trail race held at Gunpowder State Park on October 18, 2026. The course distance is 5.25 Miles, making it the shortest event in the BRRC trail series.

The route begins with a steep climb, includes several downhill sections, and finishes on a faster stretch. Participants will encounter single track trail sections noted for their natural setting. The race offers on site race day registration in addition to online registration when details are provided.

This event is supported solely by participant donations. There is no required registration fee; participants are asked to make a donation at bib pickup according to their preference.
