Gunpowder Keg Ultra

Gunpowder Keg Ultra 25K and 50K

The Baltimore Road Runners Club’s is again hosting the Gunpowder Keg Ultra 25K and 50K on Saturday April 18th 8AM in the Bunker Hill area of Gunpowder State Park. This beautiful trail race in Northern Baltimore County consists of a 15.5 mile loop of single track with a smattering of fire road and asphalt. 25K runners will complete this loop once. 50K runners will complete the loop twice. Changing your mind mid-race is ok with us! Everyone starts together and you'll get credit for and count in the results for the race distance you completed. This is a great race to challenge yourself on a hilly course or to use as a supported training run (only cost you $20)

Start time for both races is 8am and there is a 9 hour time limit. We have 2 mid-loop aid stations and one at the 25K/finish that will be staffed by friendly volunteers and stocked with typical ultra fare. If it’s a hot day we’ll add 2 unmanned water only stops along the way. $20 fee will go to BRRC (we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit) and the park, to keep this and other venues beautiful and available for our use. We ask that everyone bring a gallon of water. Snacks to share are welcome as well. New this year we have optional swag for you to remember the event in the form of a very cool custom designed long sleeve t-shirt!
