Wild Trail 5K & 10K - Thurmont

The Wild Trail 5K & 10K is scheduled for April 4, 2026 in Thurmont, Maryland, at ThorpeWood, a private property in northern Frederick County. The site is private, so access to the course is limited to event participants and guests on the day.

Distances

  • 5K part of the FSRC Grand Prix
  • 10K includes two 5K loops, part of the FSRC Grand Prix

Parking and registration logistics note that car pooling is recommended and parking must be in designated spots following the directions of parking attendants. Race-day registration is available online only on a participant’s own device; there are no paper forms or registration kiosks.

Course information states there is no formal public preview because the event is on private property. A course map will be posted shortly before the event and the route will be marked with flags and ribbons. The 5K is one single loop; the 10K uses the 5K loop plus a separate second 5K loop. Organizers plan a volunteer work day at ThorpeWood a few weeks before the race.

Timing and services: the event will be chip timed with a bib-scan procedure at the finish as a backup. Water will be provided on course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
