Thank you to everyone that ran the VIRTUAL version of the Makin' Hay 10K in 2020!
3/23/2020 - COVID-19 CHANGES TO THE 2020 MAKIN' HAY 10K:
Sadly, then on-site version of the 2020 Makin' Hay 10K was cancelled and changed to a "virtual" event due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
What does going virtual mean for you? In a nutshell, it means that in exchange for registering, you will receive a bib and one of our fantastic race medals in the mail. You can run 10K anywhere you wish, from your treadmill to the mountains from April 11 through April 26th and upload your results (instructions will be sent out closer to that date) to RunSignup if you wish for your run to be shown in the results.
Sadly, there will be no cameradierie or awards this year, but here's to hoping that 2021 is a much better year!
Stay safe. Keep actively practicing your social-distancing and hopefully we'll be able to run the Spook Hill Cider & Wine 4-Mile Run as usual in October (Spook Hill registration has been turned off for the time-being, but you can join the Spook Hill wait list by clicking here).
Anticipated changes going forward for on-site, physical events: 1) No water stops. Plan on carrying your own water. We will have water available on-site for you to top off your water bottles/bladders on race morning. 2) No packet pickups pre-race. All partitipants will be mailed their SWAG (bib, shirt, and race medal) prior to the event. 3) Early registration cut-offs. Registration will be cut-off early enough so that all packets can can be mailed before the event. 4) More portable toilets and hand-washing stations. 5) Post-race snacks will be pre-packaged foodstuffs which will be handed out by volunteers. 6) Awards are expected to be mailed post-race.
The reasoning for these changes is to reduce the likelihood of viral/bacterial transmission between participants, volunteers, and spectators.

The on-site, physical version of the 2020 Makin'Hay 10K was cancelled, but we hope to be back at Catoctin Creek Park again on April 17th, 2021!
This scenic and rolling 10K course will take you on a journey through the heart of Frederick County's dairy production region. The course celebrates spring's awakening, taking participants past numerous farms, along Catoctin Creek on a dirt road, and across two, one-lane, wooden deck bridges.
The start/finish and parking are located at Frederick County's Catoctin Creek Nature Center, Middletown, Md.
