Nut Job Challenge

Over the years, we have learned that some of our participants are certifiably nuts! Many of you can’t get enough running and are always looking for the next challenge. Well, now we have just the thing for you! We are proud to announce the Annual Frederick Nut Job Challenge.  Runners who complete both the half marathon on Sunday and The Twilight 5K on Saturday will receive a special Nut Job race bib valid for both events AND earn an exclusive Nut Job medal in addition to the half marathon and 5K medals. Medals will be distributed following the completion of the half marathon. Your special bib will help our volunteers and everyone else identify you as a Nut Job (and let them know to run the other way… very quickly!)

AWARDS

A prize will be awarded for the 1st place overall Male & Female in the Frederick Nut Job Challenge – awards are based on the combined finishing chip time in the Half & 5K.

HOW TO REGISTER

Select this category in the registration process and we will make sure you receive your special Nut Job race bib at pick-up.
