⚠️ 400 entry spots remain

Registration for the 64th Annual JFK 50 Mile presented by Altra Running is moving at a record pace.

With fewer than 400 entries left, we fully expect this year’s race to sell out faster than ever.

If you’re planning to run in November, don’t wait. Once the race reaches capacity, registration will close and the only option will be to try again next year.

Secure your spot now before they’re gone.

The first Antietam Illumination was created on snowy fields on a very cold December day. Camera batteries didn't last very long...the volunteers were freezing, but they got it done. The weather was much more like Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia. It's amazing that the volunteers came back for the second year . This is the icy view from the Bloody Lane Tower. We hope it doesn't snow on Dec 6...it's very pretty...but.......
