Women's Distance Festival 5K, 13 July 2008.
Union Mills Homestead Pavilion, Westminster, MD.
It was a sunny, warm morning in Union Mills when 52 dedicated women lined up at the start of WRRC's 5K contribution to the Women's Distance Festival series in Maryland. Kids, husbands, and friends enjoyed cheering this fantastic group of ladies on as they braved the heat and burned rubber on Old Hanover and Deep Run Roads. Popsicles, photos, and a good time were shared by all after the race. See you again next year ladies!
Many thanks to all of our (male) volunteers. You guys were great! Thanks, too, to Nut Hall for helping to time the race. What a nice surprise!
(By the way, for next year we hope to increase the parking area at the pavilion and the remove Old Hanover portion of the race so you needn't share the road with the cars zipping over from Hanover.)
Team results:
1. Annapolis Striders - 84 pts
2. Montgomery County RRC - 83 pts
3. Baltimore RRC - 76 pts
4. Westminster RRC - 9 pts
