Fire on the Mountain 50K Trail Race, Little Orleans MD
Fire on the Mountain is scheduled for November 1, 2026 in Little Orleans, Maryland, within Green Ridge State Forest. The event offers two distance options:
- 50K - about 31.95 miles, out-and-back, seven aid stations, 10 hour cutoff
- 25K - about 16.3 miles, three aid stations, 4 hours 45 minute cutoff
The 50K course is an out-and-back with three aid stations reached twice and an oasis at the midway point. The 25K course combines roughly 6.5 miles of trail—sometimes technical with roots, rocks and narrow sections—plus about 9.6 miles of forest service road and improved dirt roads.
All finishers who complete their event within the official cutoff time receive a finisher’s premium. The event historically offers a series of semi-organized training runs staged in September; a scheduled training run for 2026 is noted to take place on September 27, meeting at the finish line.
The organizer lists a Distinguished Participant program for 2026: runners who participate in five of seven specified events earn special recognition. Volunteers are requested to support aid stations during the race. Registration is noted to open on February 2, 2026. The event’s refund and transfer policy states no refunds and no transfers, with limited exceptions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
