15th Iron Furnace Fifty
All routes are flat, fast and fun. You’ll be riding through the Great Pocomoke Forest and surrounding countryside on lightly traveled rural roads. All routes begin and end at Furnace Town.
Not only is the Iron Furnace Fifty perfect for all ages and abilities, but all proceeds benefit Furnace Town Historic Site and the Snow Hill Rotary Club!
It's a great way to get off the beaten path, breathe lots of fresh air, and have fun while supporting two local nonprofit organizations!

We’re excited to kick off a full year of Service Days at Furnace Town! These hands-on workdays help maintain the site, prepare for events, and complete important projects—all while offering students a chance to earn Service Learning Hours. Each Service Day runs from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with a scheduled half-hour lunch break at noon. Lunch (hot dogs, chips, and drinks) will be provided.
March 15 – Spring Spruce Up: Prepare the site for spring by tackling landscaping, debris removal, and general cleanup projects.
