VHTRC - The Club

Sean Andrish was the winner at the Bel Monte 50km held on March 27 in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Charlottesville.  Brad Hinton was second. Neal Gorman at third, was the top VHTRC finisher in the 50 miler. There were several other VHTRC members in both races. Event Web site

Jack Kurisky and Justine Morrison were the top VHTRC finishers at Clark Zealand's Terrapin Mountain 50K in Sedalia, VA. Jack was eighth overall and Justine was the first female finisher, just beating out Keith Knipling for ninth place overall. A number of VHTRCers finished (some of them are in the photo at right). Here are the results. Terrapin Mtn uses parts of the Hellgate 100K and Promise Land 50K courses. It was a gorgeous day to run in the mountains!

Matt Woods was fourth and Aaron Schwartzbard was sixth at the National Marathon held in DC on March 20.  While certainly not a trail race, the VHTRC was well represented. Results

It was a beautiful day at the 22nd HAT Run held on March 20 in northern Maryland.  Some, however, suffered from poor training brought on by earlier storms.  The top spots were pretty well dominated by Pennsylvanians. Guess they didn't get as much snow and could train more! Results are now available on the HAT Page

From Stephanie Wilson: Recently I posted a brief comment on the VHTRC listserv with a link to photos that I took at Elizabeth Furnace 50k run. I received a number of emails subsequently from individuals who either couldn’t open the Picasa link or wished to receive a more detailed account of our run that day. I thought I’d post a race report here with (hopefully) a functional link to the photos of the run as well.

Kari Brown was the female winner of the 50km at the Seneca Creek Greenway Trail Marathon and 50K held on March 6, in Montgomery County, Maryland. Several other VHTRC members finished the two events.

It was a runaway for Jaret Seiberg in the VHTRC March Madness Contest.  He even would have won had Butler made that last shot. The Selection Committee didn't do very well.  Final contest results | standings after the first week

Leigh Schmitt and Aliza Lapierre set new event records at the 2010 Bull Run Run held on April 10.  The team results are now ready and there is a report. Aaron Schwartzbard's photos are up and, new, the all-time data now has 2010 results. All is linked from the BRR 2010 Report page.

The hit of the day was the Wolf Run Shoals aid station which was definitely not in Kansas.  Click the photo for a bigger version.

Six people completed what Quatro calls the the "Fish Hook 46 miler" - Signal Knob Parking lot to Camp Roosevelt. As he notes, this may be a preview of Camp Roosevelt's new status as a popular drop point at MMT. Results
