Blades Trail Race
Pocomoke City, United States • 15 Mar 2026
Event overview
The Blades Trail Race is held on Sunday, March 15, 2026, in Pocomoke, Maryland. The event is a 10 Miler that takes place in the Hudson-Tarr Tract of Pocomoke State Forest along Blades Road, near the Pocomoke River. The course passes through forested terrain with laurel, pine trees, and moss. The final cutoff time for the 10 miler is 3 hours. There will be one aid station on course and the race is cupless, so participants must use their own cup, bottle, or hydration system. Some trail sections may cross small creeks.
