Rocky Gap 25K, 50K & Relay Trail Running Race Flintstone, MD   Oct 11, 2026

It’s no secret that we adore Rocky Gap State Park and it absolutely has a special place in our hearts and the hearts of thousands of EX2 racers. We’ve been hosting races in the park since 2004, and recently introduced this brand new ultra distance trail running event – an awesome adventure in the mountains of western Maryland.

The race highlights three different beautiful loops in the park that vary in length between 4.4 miles and 6.5 miles. We are calling these loops simply Loop A, Loop B, and Loop C. The 25K race does each loop once in order (A, B, C) with a total elevation change of about 1,300 feet. The 50K race does each loop twice in order (A, B, C…then A, B, C again) with a total elevation change of about 2,600 feet.

Registration fee includes fun and challenging course design, sweet finisher medal, professional race operations, chip timing, wonderful volunteer support and aid stations, medical support, awesome post-race food, and a race t-shirt you’ll love.
