The rolls of film that were shot at the Awards party on Saturday night, February 18, have finally been processed, the double prints are back from Ritz Camera, and they are ready to be shared.  So seems as good a time as any to also share the names of the winners of the 2011 VHTRC trailrunning awards!

Congratulations to all the nominees, and to the following award winners:

November 19 was a great day for running as two 50 mile races took place on and near the Potomac River -- the second Stone Mill 50 and the 49th JFK 50.

Neal Gorman won the Grindstone 100 mile run on October 8, and Kerry Owens was second female. Many other VHTRC runners participated.  Results | Bobby Gill's Pictures

The rains during the week of March 7 - 10 caused the Bull Run to break out of its banks and cover much of the trail.  The trail below the parking lot at the Centreville trailhead was completely covered with water on Friday, March 10.  The crossing of Popes Head Creek was way under water. Interestingly, where the trail was not under water, it was not very muddy.  But that would be different of 300+ people ran over it twice.  Pictures on Flickr

Brad Hinton won the Fire on the Mountain 50km in the Green Ridge State Forest, Maryland, on October 28.  In the process, Brad set the course record.  Report and results

A grand time was had by all at the 2012 Halloweeny.  I heard that Lance was the runaway winner - of course he would be.  Thanks to Sharon, Ted and all the volunteers!
