REGISTER NOW FOR APRIL 24 AUDUBON RUN/WALK EVENT
TSR Featured Event

The Potomac Valley Audubon Society is now accepting registrations for its ninth annual "This Race is for the Birds!" run/walk event, which will be held on Saturday, April 24 on the campus of the National Conservation Training Center near Shepherdstown.
The Society is expanding the event significantly this year. In past years, it was mainly focused on a simple 5K run. This year, it will feature two professionally timed races—one 4.9 miles long and another 7.7 miles long.

In the past, between 75 and 125 runners have turned out for the 5K race. With the new expanded format, the organization is expecting 250 to 300 runners to compete this year.

Registration for the two professionally timed races will be capped at 300 for both.

There will also be a self-timed 2-mile community jog/walk for families and those who prefer a slower pace, and a 1-mile "Fun Run" for children under 10 years of age. . Read More
Falls Road Running dominates RRCA Club Challenge
10-miler nothin’ but a thang for Berdan, Emond; Falls Road sweeps team titles

COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 28 – The Westminster Road Runners Club surprised everyone – including its own members – in 2009 when its representatives won the RRCA Club Challenge 10-mile women’s team title.
Jim Adams and Falls Road Running made sure history wasn’t going to repeat itself.

At a post-race meeting of RRCA member presidents, Adams said he recruited young. The strategy paid dividends for Falls Road Running, which swept the men’s, women’s and co-ed titles on Sunday at Howard Community College.

Falls Road Running won the co-ed title in 2009 but finished second in the other two categories.

Shortly after Sunday’s whistle, however, it was clear the race was Falls Road Running’s to lose – at least on an individual basis. Susie Emond, 26, of Baltimore, pushed to an early lead and never had a reason to worry about the competition.
Emond was the first female to cross the line, stopping the clock in 59 minutes, 27.14 seconds – nearly four full minutes of the No. 2 finisher. Teammate Melissa Majumdar, 25, of Baltimore, was second in 63:24 while Laura O’Hara, 29, of Alexandria, Va., took third in 63:34.35. O’Hara won last year’s individual title with a mark of 61:15.3 and led the Westminster Road Runners Club to its first-ever team championship after entering the event considered by many as a perennial doormat.

FLINTSTONE, Md., March 6 -- Just two feet shy of 200 runners participated in the second Run for the Plunge 15K and 5K runs on Saturday at Rocky Gap State Park.

Forty-five-year-old Dennis Mickey covered the 9.3-mile run, including a challenging, ice- and snow-filled 0.6-mile trail section, better than anybody else. The Ridgeley, W.Va., resident won with a time of 61 minutes and 9 seconds.

Jennifer Sober, 36, of McHenry, cruised to the women's title.

In the 5K run, Allegany High School harrier Ian MacFawn outpaced last year's champ, Tom Ruckert, 57, of Grantsville. Becky Gallagher, 36, earned the top spot among all female finishers.

Both running events, sponsored by Cumberland native David Mantheiy and his Pittsburgh-based construction company, Manheim Corporation, were staged in conjunction with the sixth annual Hooley Plunge - the annual dip into Lake Habeeb to raise money for Allegany County Specials Olympics and other programs that aid the developmentally disabled. Proceeds from the runs are contributed to the same cause.

Nearly 30 volunteers through the Volunteer Team at Rocky Gap State Park provided support along the course, as did Allegany County Bureau of Police, the Maryland Natural Resources Police, park rangers and a handful of dedicated individuals, including Dave Treber, Della Cook, Rhonda Johnson and Marvin Bridges.

"When in Preston County, Run with Snowshoes"

Most everyone is familiar with the phrase, “ when in Rome, do as the Romans do.”  It basically means do as the people around you do.

If you were to stop by a track practice on the Preston High campus in Kingwood, West Virginia, you would need to strap on a pair of snowshoes designed for running.
tn_Preston2010 124
During Martin’s research, the company that kept getting great reviews was Dion Snowshoes in North Bennington, Vermont.  Martin contacted the owner / founder of Dion Snowshoes, Bob Dion, to see if he could help out his distance runners.

Bob and his wife Denise are national champion snowshoers and design, build, and use their own product. 

Dion suggested to Martin that he purchase the Dion Model 121 which is the smallest and narrowest snowshoe allowed by the United States Snowshoe Association (USSSA). Read More
McDaniel Student Hopeful After Tragedy

KELLI HAWTHORNE “RUN FOR LIFE” CROSS COUNTRY 5K and FUN RUN

Kelli Hawthorne’s dreams are as big as her heart. An alum of McDaniel College and a graduate student in the ‘BEST program (Better Educators of Students Tomorrow), Kelli has high hopes of making a difference in the lives of children as an elementary school teacher. However, on September 20th 2009, those dreams were stalled for the 24 year old. Following her brother’s wedding in Oregon, she went for a quiet stroll along starlit coastal beaches. In the darkness, she plunged 25 feet head first into the rocky cliffs below and was wedged between the jagged boulders. It took local rescue crews over an hour to free her.

Kelli was rushed to a hospital in Lincoln City where the medical staff worked to stabilize her. According to an article in The Times of Trenton, the night she arrived at the intensive care unit there were only 12 total patients. By the next morning, four had died. Her mom, Ruth recalls, “The police and paramedics told us there was no reason she should be alive. “They said, "We've never gotten a live person out of this.” Then she was moved to Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center in Portland to begin extensive facial reconstruction surgery.
