Sunday at Lake Needwood, MD was an almost perfect day to wander through the park with cool early autumn weather. Over 200 enthusiastic participants, including first timers, members, new and old, scouts and JROTC, (and somewhat fewer than 200 dogs) walked, jogged or raced the 7 different courses.
We want to give credit where it's due, to Nadim Ahmed for all his work updating the map after the derecho last June, designing the courses and hanging all the controls.
Many thanks also to the super volunteers listed below. The event couldn't have been successful without your kind support and gift of time.
Registration volunteers – Don Fish, Mike Newman, Peggy Dickison, Lisa Beck, Jan Merka & Dasa Merkova.
Epunch volunteers – Valerie Meyer, John Baker, Heidi Onkst & Amy Louden.
Control pickup volunteers – Scott Pleban, Ted Good, Rob Field, Tom Wells, Don Davis, Don Ames & Dan Quinn.
