Baltimore Area Ultra Runner List Baltimore Area Ultra Runner List The purpose of the Baltimore Area Ultra Runner (BAUR) List is to identify those individuals in the Baltimore Running Community that have completed running events greater than the traditional marathon distance (26.2 miles) and highlight their accomplishments. The BAUR List started in January 2010 and it is similar to a document compiled by the RASAC Running Club in Harford County, Maryland that focuses on members of their club. It is hoped that this list will identify those pioneers of distance running in the Baltimore Region and encourage others to participate in our sport. In 2014 the BAUR list expanded its geographic area to include runners in Central Maryland that asked to be included on this list. Criteria for inclusion into the Baltimore Area Ultra Runner List: 1. You must have finished at least 1 ultra race. This is any organized distance event greater than 26.2 miles in length. 2. Training runs do not count. 3. A- You must finish the race. You cannot dropout of a race and still have it count toward the list. B- However, if a race provides official credit for a partial distance covered in their official results as a separate event, this will be considered an official ultra finish. (i.e. Runners in the Umstead 100 Miler, completing at least 50 miles, are included in the Umstead 50 Mile Results) 4. Ranking is by total mileage completed. 5. Time and place in the running events are not considered. 6. Eligibility is not limited to Baltimore Road Runners Club members and BRRC membership is not required. 7. For purposes of this list, Baltimore refers to the Baltimore-Washington Region. This includes Baltimore City and the counties in Central Maryland. 8. Current residency is not required. (Someone who lived in the region at one time and has relocated to another part of the country is welcome to maintain their accomplishments on this list.) If you wish to be included in the Baltimore Area Ultra Runner List or have questions, contact Tom Nasuta @ [email protected] . Please provide the Name, Date and Distance of the events that you have completed.

However, at times the courses may be a little short or a little long. To be consistent, runners in this ultra list will receive credit for the distance published by the race director in the official results for the event. (i.e. if a race identifies itself as a 50 Miler, runners will be given credit for 50 miles. ) Ultrarunning Events in and near the Baltimore Metropolitan Area 1 – Phunt Run – 50K (January) 2 – Hinte-Anderson Trail Run – 50K (March) 3 – Gunpowder Keg Ultra – 50K (April) 4 – Hashawha Hills 50K Trail Run (February) 5 – Seneca Creek Greenway Trail 50K Run (March) 6 – Mid-Maryland Ultra - 50K (February) and Patapsco 50K (October) 7 – Stone Mill 50 Mile Run (November) 8 – North Face Endurance Challenge 50K and 50 Mile (June) 9 – Rosaryville 50K (July and November) 10 – Endless Summer 6 Hour Run (July) 11 – Frozen Heart 50K (February) Baltimore Area Ultra Runner List - Date of Last Update: 12/31/2019 (Page 3 & 4) Number of Ultra-Runners: 265 1.

  • Backpacking Suggestions the Best Idea for a First Backpacking Trip Is A
    "First" Backpacking Suggestions The best idea for a first backpacking trip is a 3-day (2-night) 15-mile trip that can be safely taken by a relatively inexperienced Venture patrol. Details need be flushed out by the patrol as they plan. The suggestions shown below are only outlines and will need to be modified based upon equipment, season, weather, experience, and physical conditioning. The Appalachian Trail (AT) is closest to DC at VA Rte. 9, Rte. 7, and Rte. 50. The crossing at I- 66/Rte 55 is quick to get to, though it's further. In the 40 miles of AT between I-66 and Rte 9, there six locations than can be used for small group overnight camping; Manassas Gap Shelter, Dick's Dome Shelter, Rod Hollow Shelter, Bear's Den Youth Hostel (fee required), Blackburn Trail Center, and David Lesser Memorial Shelter. Sky Meadows State Park, located between Rte 55 and Rte 50, makes an excellent launching point. It has a primitive camping area (fee required) that can be used for the first night or as a base camp for hikes along the AT. If you go out on Friday night, pick a campsite that is near a trailhead and easy to walk to. In the winter, you will need to get to the AT as soon as possible because of a typical Friday night late start due to school and an early sunset. Be prepared to walk in the dark. The following are some suggested section hikes along the AT. For more details and maps, purchase the Appalachian Trail Guide to Maryland, and Northern Virginia published by the Appalachian Trail Conference (ATC) and available at most backcountry equipment stores.

School breaks provide the perfect time to get outdoors and be surrounded by nature. But for many people, the idea of planning a long-distance or multi-day hike can be intimidating, especially when traveling with kids.. However, with a few simple tips, families can take the plunge and plan a beautiful multi- day hike (or, plan to hike specific sections of the trail, and return for more hiking at a later date). There are 11 national scenic trails in the U.S. that are considered true through-hike trails. Traditionally, these routes attract long-distance hikers who spend weeks or months on the trail.

  • Alternative Trails.Xlsx
    Wandering off the Beaten Path: Less Traveled Long Distance Trails in the Appalachian Mountains “Are you looking for a new adventure? . Been itching to return to long-distance hiking... anxious for something a bit more challenging” (Jenkins). Try wandering off the beaten path in the Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachian Mountains in North America, range from the southern foothills in Alabama north into Labrador and Newfoundland. They are identifiable through 18 states and 5 Canadian provinces. All this territory and yet it may come as a surprise to many that the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT) is not the only long-distance trail available to hike in the system. As long-distance hiking becomes more and more popular trails like the AT see more hikers, to the point of overuse. People wishing to get away from it all may want to consider a less traveled path. Some of these less traveled trails interlink more than once with the AT and so can provide the bonus of a loop hike. Other trails connecting to the AT can offer an AT thru hiker the opportunity to continue hiking well beyond Katahdin. Shorter trails present the prospect of thru-hiking a trail without needing to quit one's job for 6 months. Hiking one of the shorter trails can also serve as a shakedown in preparation for a potential longer distance hike. This critical preparation not only helps hikers make great gear decisions but will help them to discover if they even would enjoy a 6 month hike. Most of the trails are more remote than the AT and offer less in the way of hiker amenities or hostels.
