SEP 21ST – SUNDAY 8:00 AM – RASAC JERUSALEM RD GUNPOWDER 5 MILE TRAIL RUN – Since no one pays attention to the trail markings that Pop Pop and I have put up for past races (Scott), we have decided not to put up any trail markings for this year’s event.  For this year’s race you will be furnished with a map of the trail system with a North orientation.  If you have a decent compass (not a Mickey Mouse one) bring it.  If not..Tough.   The goal is to get to the turn around (picking up a turn around token from Pop Pop or Pin Head) and coming back the quickest way (not necessarily easiest) to the finish line.  There will be awards (a 1993 YUGO) for the first male, first female, and two person teams (male, female, and mixed).  TEAM MEMBERS MUST FINISH TOGETHER TO BE COUNTED AS A TEAM FINISH.  If you are out on the course for more than 1.5 hours your family will be contacted with the news that you vanished while on the run course.  This is so that they can set a date for the celebration party.  Just think, your family will probably be better off without you. 

 

Come and have some fun.  There is still a $2 donation ($3 for teams) for the Gunpowder Trail System maintenance.  Starts near the covered bridge.  From US1, go South on 152 (Mountain Rd), right onto Old Joppa, right onto Jerusalem Rd, go ½ mile and park at the Gunpowder Falls parking lot on the right.  Parking is limited so please carpool, ride your bike or run.  RD: George Stewart (410) 838-2297/ (410) 456-0744
