Report

by Ed Demoney, RD

Almost 100 runners ran the Potomac Overlook Regional Park trails on a beautiful sunny fall day with temperatures in the low 40s. Runners doing the 8K shed a lot of garments at the turn for the second loop – trail running does produce heat. All told, 48 finished the 4K and 50 the 8K. The course is challenging with several runners signed up for the 8K deciding one loop was enough pleasure for the day with a 4K finish preferable.

Justin Fritzius from Purcellville took an early lead in the 4K and finished in 15:44 more than a minute ahead of Bernardino Ochoa, Alexandria, at 16:59. First woman in the 4K was Alexandria’s Agatha Engel with a time of 20:30; second woman was Ruth Gordon, Arlington, at 23:06. Master’s winners were C. J. Blagg, 19:35, and Ruth Gordon, 23:06, both from Arlington.

Edi Turco from Arlington was not seriously challenged in the 8K, finishing at 32:59 with second place finisher Michael Lucke, Arlington, finishing at 38:05. First woman was Jen Norris of McLean with a time of 45:10, well ahead of second place runner Amy Greenberg, Potomac, at 48:04. Master’s winners were Jim Economos, Arlington, 40:30, and Martha Huizenga, Washington, D.C., 48:40.

The 4K trail run had two very young runners, Niko Economos, age 7, 30:32, and Susanna Daniels, age 8, 35:46, Susanna coming all the way from Front Royal to run virtually along the Potomac River. Oldest 4K finisher was Leesburg’s Terrence McCarthy, age 75.

The trail runs were a successful fund raising event for Gulf Branch Nature Center and Potomac Overlook Regional Park. The two parks will split $1,350 with all entry fees going to the two parks.

The race would not have been possible without the enthusiastic support of volunteers from Virginia Happy Trails Running Club, Anstr Davidson, Monty Johnson, Vicky Kendall, Wendy Marszalek, Paul Sherlock, Jim Cavanaugh, Rosalie Demoney, Dan Stevens and Joe. Also providing invaluable support is the staff of Potomac Overlook Regional Park and the Donaldson Run Recreation Assn.

In a continuation of a long tradition of the event, awards were contributed by the Mad Bomber.
