FSRC 10K Training Program 2026

The race.

The Frederick Steeplechasers Running Club offers a nine-week coed 10K training program starting August 16, 2026, in Frederick, Maryland. Group runs meet twice weekly on Tuesdays at 6:00 PM and Saturdays at 7:30 AM at Baker Park's Talley Recreation Center and various Frederick-area locations. Four volunteer coaches lead the program and provide individual training plans with mileage recommendations, cross-training guidance, and scheduled rest days. Participants must be at least 15 years old and consistently running 2–3 days per week, with comfortable 3–4 mile long runs, prior to start. The program is free for current Frederick Steeplechasers members; membership is required to register. Goal races are offered on November 1 at the Rockville 10K and November 8 at the Bay Bridge 10K.
