Upcoming Events 
Sunday, May 19th - KIDS FUN RUN
​Marathoners in Training!
Friends of the Chessie Trail is sponsoring a fun run for kids PreK-8th grade. We will have three races starting from the kiosk at the Mill Creek Meadow: 2.6 miles, 1.3 miles, and 0.5K. The event is free. Participants will receive a T shirt and finisher medal from our past           fall races (while supplies last).  Parents/Guardians will need to sign waivers for their children's participation, and they must remain on site. There will be no additional parking for the event, so please plan accordingly.

Saturday, Oct. 27 – The fall race, now officially the FOCT Marathon/ Half-Marathon/ 5K, starts stepping off at 8 a.m. Volunteers needed from 5 a.m. to early afternoon. Come when you can, stay as long as you like. Help is much appreciated.
