RUNNING VIRTUALLY
The 2024 Frederick Running Festival is scheduled to be a live race BUT we are excited to announce that the 2024 race will also have a virtual component! This is a great way to still get involved with the 22nd anniversary celebration, whether near or far! With 5 great virtual distances, the 5k, the Team Relay, and Half Marathon, there’s something for everyone. So get registered today and then check out the next steps below!
