Friends of the Maryland State Parks (FOMSP; FED ID # 52-2049562) is a statewide, independent, all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization. FOMSP are dedicated to preserving, protecting, enhancing, and advocating for our state parks. FOMSP was incorporated in 1997, with a focus on investments in our state parks to provide economic value to local economies; protection and conservation of natural resources; nature activities and programs for children; environmental education and stewardship; cultural and historical preservation and restoration; critical maintenance and capital improvements in our parks; and programs that promote healthy lifestyles for our park visitors. In 2020 the FOMSP launched the Small Grants, Big Impact! program, designed to inspire people from all backgrounds to connect with, celebrate, and support Maryland’s State Parks and their community-based programs. Since 2021, the FOMSP has awarded 73 grants statewide.


Come out and enjoy this scenic, challenging, hilly 5k/10k around the property. This is probably our toughest event we do, between a mix of paved and gravel/dirt road. The views are incredible but so is the muscle burn! Make no bones about it, you’ll earn that glass of beer.

Register for the Sadists Hill Climb, a 1k timed run right up to the top of Dirt Hill Farm! Or really challenge yourself & complete the Hill Climb & then run either the 5k or 10k!


On May 16, join the American Heart Association for the 36th annual Lawyers Have Heart 10K, 5K and Fun Walk at West Potomac Park for a scenic course and a fun post-race party. This race is family and dog-friendly and open to all runners and walkers with big hearts.


The City of Rockville, in partnership with MCRRC, welcomes all to participate in this fall running tradition. The 10K and 5K are on the streets of the King Farm community for a scenic and rewarding, course. It is an ideal venue to cap off your summer/fall training and kick off the upcoming winter running season. Participants of all abilities are welcome.

This race is a fundraiser for the City of Rockville Recreation Fund, which provides financial assistance to those who may have difficulty participating in the City’s recreational programs. Donations to the Rockville Recreation Fund are considered tax deductible.
