VHTRC - The Club

Annette was the overall winner. Mike won the "Grand Master" age group. (We think that Grand Master started at age 50. Mike is 60.)  There were several other VHTRC participants in the run held in northeast Ohio. Event Web site

The third great VHTRC event, the Women's Half Marathon, will be held on September 11. As with the other events, volunteers are critical to the success of the run. We are now ready for you to volunteer.  For more information and to volunteer

Sabrina Moran fiinished the Lone Ranger 24 Hour in Philadelphia on Saturday with 125 miles, good for second overall. Serge Arbona was first overall with 146 miles. The race was a 8.45 loop along the Skuylkill River in 100 degree temperatures. Lone Ranger results | Sabrina's race report on her blog

Neal finished the Vermont 100 in 16:33, about 30 minutes behind winner Andy Jones-Wilkins and just nine minutes ahead of top female Kami Semick. He is now 2-for-2 in the Grand Slam. Justine Morrison was the top VHTRC female, finishing her first 100 miler in 23:23. Prasad Gerard, Tammy Massie, Tammy Bagdhassarian, and Twila Brown also finished. The results indicate that there were many drops; perhaps they had the heat and humidity we had here as well? Vermont 100 website

It seems that the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum is no more. But all the stuff is for sale. Among the items on the auction block are movie posters like those in the snack bar at the Skyline Ranch Resort. In yet another connection to trail running, the museum used to be in Victorville, California (before it moved to Branson). Victorville is the biggest city near Wrightwood, the start of Angeles Crest.  It was the place to stay if you wanted to "sleep low" before AC!  Happy trails!

The Rattlesnake Trail 50 km was held on July 10 in West Virginia. We know that there were some VHTRC runners there, but we don't know the results yet. Event Web site

Mike Bailey and John Hayward were the top VHTRC finishers at the Skyline Challenge held near Gore, Virginia on July 10. The top female finisher was Regan Petrie. Gary Knipling and Pam Gowen won their age groups. Event Web site

VHTRC member Alisa Springman finished Badwater in 42:17:28 for 48th place. Badwater runs 135 miles from the lowest point in the United States in Death Valley to the trailhead to the highest point in the United States (minus Alaska), Whitney Portal.  Badwater Webcast.

Scott Brockmeir was the leading VHTRC finisher at the Hardrock 100 in Silverton, Colorado.  Other VHTRC finishers included Jack Kurisky, Mike Bur, and Robert Andrulis. Leonard Martin finished, but over the time limit by two minutes. We are not sure how they are counting that, but it is an impressive achievement regardless. Live Hardrock Reports
