Sort’a Mountain Stage Race (Sam’s Race)

The Sort’a Mountain Stage Race (Sam’s Race) features a Half Marathon & 5 Mile trail run w/ optional “Easy 18” (Double) run/ruck/hike @ Knobstone Trail.

This is a “VISTA” Race with a spectacular view from summit of Round Top! ⛰️

The Half Marathon course is out and back on the Knobstone Trail with the turnaround @ the summit of Round Top Knob. The 5 mile course is also Knobstone Trail with the turnaround at the first aid station @ mile marker 2.5. An 18 mile option would include running the 5 miler and then completing the Half Marathon for an “ULTIMATE 18”.

The trail is single track and fairly rugged (rocks, roots, uneven terrain). The first 4 miles is undulating and beyond that the escarpments are steep with quite a bit of elevation up and down until you reach the summit of Round Top Knob.

Aid stations will be located at mile 2.5 @ trail intersection and at mile 5.3 @ road intersection. Aid stations will have Gatorade and water plus some nutrition options to be detailed later.

Age group awards and overall awards will be presented as well as bonus prizes and overall prizes. The race will start @8AM for all distances.

We will provide food for all participants and family as well as volunteers.
