VHTRC - The Club

We hope to have live updates from MMT this weekend.

VHTRC member Amy Sproston won the World 100km Championship held in Italy on April 22. The U.S. women's team also won. Event Web site

Bryon Powell has more information and a picture of Amy's finish on his site.

Amy, right, with winners trophy at the 2010 JFK 50. She is also a prior MMT champion.

Based on a ground swell of one or two users, we have made the old stuff on the Web site available.  John Dodds's posts, the crazy pictures, and the stuff from the infancy of the club. It's all there but - many of the links are broken and the navigation is out of date. It's like wandering in the woods without trails.  But you will stumble on interesting things like, to the right, the club's first logo as sent out in a fax from Chris Scott. Also, breathless headlines like, "180 Finish Bull Run Run!"  This new section has the sophisticated name: Old Stuff. The link is on the top, right of every page.

Over in Appomattox, VA, Matt Woods was second male and Martha Nelson was third female at David Horton's 17th annual Holiday Lake 50K on Saturday. Marty Lindemann was the first female over 50 in a PR. Many VHTRC members reported PRs and fast times on the two-loop course. Results are on the Holiday Lake website.

MMT applicants can now pay or join the wait list. They need to do this by January 4. For the wait list, that date is the last day we can receive your wait list check. We don't go by postmark date.  Pay or join wait list

Thanks to Kerry Owens and all her helpers for a great Potomac Heritage Trail 50km on November 13. Take the read more link for her report and the results.

In cool, rainy weather at Wintergreen, VA, Ragan Petrie was tenth overall and the first female across the UROC 100K finish line in 10:11, ahead of Devon Crosby-Helms and Anne Lundblad. Brad Hinton was the first VHTRC male finisher in 10:37. John Cassilly was fifth overall in the 50K. Results are on UROC website. (photo of Ragan by Bryon Powell)

Only 12 runners out of 32 starters finished the Ring. It was very warm and very, very humid. Rande Brown won; Kari Brown was third and first woman.  (Photo by Quatro at right is, from left, Kari and Rande with Mike Bur.) Cam Baker was second.  Quatro and Bur organized a great group of volunteers who pampered the runners around the course. The Ring is a 71 mile run on the entire Massanutten Trail.

Aaron Schwartzbard led the Blue Train at the Cascade Crest 100 mile in Washington.  A large group of VHTRC members, organized by Gary Knipling, ran the race. The picture of Aaron was taken by Glenn Tachiyama. See all of Glenn's Cascade photos.    Cascade Crest 100 Web site

The results and pictures are posted for the Martha Moats Baker 50 km (actually over 35 miles) race held on Saturday August 13.  Dennis Herr put on another great show this past Saturday out on his home turf - the Wild Oak trail area southwest of Harrisonburg on the West Virginia border. Drew Krueger was the winner, and there were six official finishers amongst the 24 runners who eventually started. The story of the day was once again Eva Pastalkova. First woman and last official finisher, Eva's race wasn't as epic as last year's bear dog roundup, but was pretty dramatic none the less (and long - very long . . .)
