Rosaryville Veterans Day Trail Race
The Rosaryville Veterans Day Trail Race is scheduled for November 14, 2026 in Rosaryville State Park, Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The event, organized by Annapolis Striders, offers trail distances of 50K and 20K and is limited to 250 participants.
The courses run on a 9.5-mile single track perimeter trail through woods and meadows. The 50K is roughly 3.25 loops of the perimeter trail and accumulates about 2600 feet of elevation gain. The 20K is roughly 1.25 loops of the same trail. The routes are mostly single track and not highly technical but include rolling hills, roots, rocks, and leaf cover typical in early November. The course is marked with white pie plates and white confidence ribbons. There are two aid stations on the loop and a designated drop bag area located a short walk from the start/finish. Drop bags will be available at about the 5k, 20k, and 35k points.
Time limits apply: 8 hours for the 50K and 7 hours for the 20K. Packet pickup takes place on race morning at the pavilion area. Race rules prohibit headphones, pets, and baby joggers; a foot pacer is allowed on the third loop. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers and top male and female military in each distance. Registration closes on November 8; certain refunds or deferrals are available for maternity or deployment reasons. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
