Metric Marathon & 5K

Metric Cancellation Information December 7, 2008

As race directors of the Columbia Metric Marathon & 5K, we would like to explain why the race today was  cancelled, and to provide you with an understanding of the reasons why we are unable to re-schedule the race event or to issue a refund.

As we were setting up the registration tables this morning, we heard from the traffic coordinator that the race was called off due to “black ice” on the roads and snow and ice on the bike paths. In conjunction with the Howard County Police, who expressed concern that these conditions could result in accidents involving, not only runners, but cars, police vehicles and/or the lead motorcycle, he was in agreement that we should cancel the race. In fact, when the coordinator and Howard County Striders president went to retrieve the course markers, the road conditions were deteriorating – more snow, ice (especially in shaded areas), and wind. They observed 2 down-hill sections that were coated in black ice which could have been extremely treacherous to runners. We did not want to risk any runners having an accident.

Furthermore, considering the distance of the course (16.2 miles), we were concerned that some runners (and thus volunteers), would be out on the course for 3 or more hours in the blistering cold. This would probably be a miserable experience, and could result in frostbite or hypothermia.

We know that many of you felt dissatisfied, especially those of you who drove long distances (and left home early) to run the race. Please be assured, that after the months of planning and coordinating, we, as race directors, were as disappointed as anybody could be. We planned for all the contingencies we could, but (needless to say), the weather was beyond our control. There were also hundreds of volunteers, sponsors, and providers who were eagerly anticipating this event, and were let down.

Many runners asked if the Metric Marathon could be re-scheduled for another date. Unfortunately, for many reasons, this would not be feasible. The first reason is that a race like ours requires almost 200 volunteers and to merely re-schedule it would be a logistical impossibility. Long before the race, fliers have to be printed, permits (for bike paths, Lakefront, etc.) have to be obtained, the work schedules of the police (including overtime) need to be set up, certain key people have to be available, shirts have to be printed, and other support needs to be in place. People involved in our race simply cannot re-commit after making plans many months in advance.

As for refunds, I know that many of you feel “cheated” out of your  money.  We certainly understand, since many of you put in hours of training and effort  to run this race.  Please keep in mind that certain expenditures are incurred in advance of the race as, for example, costs of printing registration forms, the portable toilets, and food (bagels, pizza, etc.). In other words, this money has already been spent in advance. However, we are offering a $5 discount to those registering for next year’s race (details will follow).   Knowing that many runners would show up for the run, we did all we could to accommodate those who were inconvenienced. Our pre-race volunteers (who showed up at 6am) served food and drinks, gave out shirts and gloves, and tried to address the needs and concerns of the runners, despite the bitter cold. We want to thank these and the many volunteers who worked “behind the scenes.” We appreciate your patience and understanding.

For those of you who did not come by the race this morning, we still have some shirts left. If you will send us an e-mail with your name, contact information, and shirt size, we will mail you a shirt while supplies last (free shipping to you). If you wish to pick it up at our house, let us know and we will make arrangements for you to stop by. (FYI – the shirt sizes leftover are overwhelmingly medium; however, we have all sizes in short-sleeve Metric shirts.). If you would like a shirt, send an email to: metricmarathon@gmail.com.

The  next (33rd) Metric Marathon & 5K will be next December –  the 6th to be exact.  Put it on your calendar, and we hope to see you then.

John & Ann Worley, Race Directors

Run Through the Grapevine 8K

Randy McDermott may have won the 15th annual Run Through the Grapevine 8K, but he did something far more important after the race. In front of the audience at the awards ceremony, Randy proposed marriage to his girlfriend, Janet Gratton. Randy’s dog Oliver brought the engagement ring in a green bag and tangled the two with the leash. Janet accepted, the audience applauded, and the couple hugged blissfully. “That was better than winning,” Randy said.

In the actual race, McDermott took the lead in the hilly race near the three mile mark when he passed Strider racing team captain Carlos Renjifo. Carlos exhausted his energy holding the lead going up that ridiculously steep hill at 2.5 miles. “I didn’t know about the course,” Carlos confessed. Perhaps contemplating his proposal, McDermott went off course near the finish and prematurely ran 100 yards downhill. Renjifo and Paul Hannsen, in third place, followed him off course. All three had to run back uphill to regain the course, and so lost precious time. “Maybe 30 seconds,” Carlos reckoned. Nevertheless, they all broke 30 minutes.

Such drama and mis-navigation did not occur during the women’s race. Sherry Stick and Dianna Pool dueled for the women’s lead in the early going, but Stick took the lead for good after the big hill and went on win in 33:57, the only female to break 34 minutes. “This is definitely the hardest [cross country] course I’ve ever run,” said Stick, who was once a runner for Salisbury State.

The top master runner was Mark Hoon, who finished fourth. Mark earned a top-5 finish, so the official honor of first among the 40+ males went to Junior Strider coach Phil Lang, who is a cross country animal. The top female master was Pat Wilkerson in 37:49.

Although most runners commented on the very steep hills of the Grapevine’s course, they also had to contend with wild animals. A deer darted downhill across the course and knocked down Karen Mawdsley. “It just came plowing through,” she said. Luckily, the deer was a doe, not a buck. The event occurred around the three mile point just before the course went back into the woods. After the collision, Karen got up and finished without further incident.

The race not only featured 5-year age groups, but also a myriad of team competitions. There were two open male teams, two masters male teams, five open female teams, three masters female teams, eight coed teams, four master coed teams, and four family teams.

Stumbling, weaving, occasionally walking, some 524 runners completed the Run Through the Grapevine 8k, which takes place every autumn at the Linganore Winery in Mt. Airy. The Howard County Striders stage the race with the cooperation of Anthony Aellen, owner of the Winery. All finishers received a wine glass, and the award winners (at least those of the appropriate age) received gift certificates for wine, which they redeemed immediately after the awards ceremony.

Jason Tripp directed the race, with the assistance of various Howard County Striders at the finish line, registration table, and on the course. In particular, the Striders wish to thank Dave Tripp, who baked over 1000 cookies and a dozen (or so) loaves the traditional banana nut bread for the post-race refreshments.

All Fruit Relay

/in ,

Neighbors in the Oakland Mills Community must have been perplexed watching the four members of Team Dominate speeding on foot through the neighborhood carrying a watermelon. Despite the relatively heavy baton, their middle of the pack finish was impressive. Other teams carried a variety of smaller fruit batons in this annual 4 x 2M relay race.

Clyde’s 10K

When Mike Colaiacovo bolted away at the start of the 30th Annual Clyde’s 10k race, Tom Williams and Steve Moxey remained calm and focused on staying within striking distance of the leader. Their patience paid off. Around the three-mile mark, when the course turned up the infamously long hill on Route 108, they overhauled a slowing Colaiacovo. “I worked it on the hills,” Tom said. In fact, Williams opened up a 30-40 meter gap on Moxey, at which point “I thought I had a shot at winning.” He did, too, cruising the final two miles in 10:30 and winning the race in 33:24. The humid, soggy morning didn’t seem to bother him, but the challenging hills did. “It wasn’t the conditions,” he said, “it’s the course!” [Mr. Colaiacovo may not be blamed for losing his focus during the competition. he just became a new father!]

The women’s race showcased the core of the Howard County Striders’ women’s racing team: Katie Breitenbach, Vanessa Cox, and Robyn Humphrey. Humphrey led ythe three through the first three miles, at which point Cox and Breitenbach assumed the lead. But they were never further apart than a few meters. Indeed, when the trio swept into the West Running Brook neighborhood at the top of the 108 hill, they bunched together and fed of each other’s energy. “It was a team effort,” Katie said, “and it was great to run together like that.” Their mutual encouragements bonded the women together in a tight camaraderie – at least until the last quarter-mile straightaway. “When we saw the finish line, it was every women for herself,” Vanessa said, and it was Cox who surged away from her friends to win the race.

The master’s race proved to be quite interesting. The Strider’s master runner of the year Doug Mock assumed an immediate lead in the age group and seemed well on his way to another stunning victory, and then he suddenly dropped out at 2½ miles. That left Chris Chattin in command of the masters’ field. But his glory did not last more than half a mile, because Peter Keating overtook him on that same 108 hill that claimed so many other victims during the race. When they crested the hill, Keating was in charge and went on to win the masters race. “I’m not as fast as those other guys,” Mr. Keating explained, “and the hills worked to my advantage.”

Lisa Fichman joined Peter as the woman’s counterpart in the master’s championships. In spite of the drizzly conditions, her hair was perfect at the awards ceremony! The overall and masters winners received Clyde’s backpacks stuffed with a jacket and a long-sleeved t-shirt, while age group winners won a Clyde’s jacket and gift certificates to Feet First of Wilde Lake. All registered runners received a commemorative long-sleeved t-shirt.

The 2008 race marked the thirtieth consecutive year that Clyde’s of Columbia has sponsored the race. While there may be races with a longer history than this 10k, there are probably none that can claim to have had the same sponsor for 30 years. And this year’s race marked another milestone: the race “sold out” for first time (we think) in its history. “We achieved 1540 entries the day before the race,” said Jim Discuillo, the official race tabulator, who noted that the field “officially” closed at 1500. Of that number 1366 started and 1325 finished. Some runners were actually turned away before the race because they had waited too long to register.

After the race, Clyde’s of Columbia treated runners, volunteers, and their families to a fabulous outdoor brunch that featured, in addition to the usual bagels, muffins and fruit, sausage rigatoni, bean-chicken chili, a yogurt bar with granola and melons, a huge submarine sandwich (that went really fast), Coke and Powerade, Heinekin and Amsel Light, and delicious fresh strawberries specially flown in from California. Although it rained before the race, the precipitation stopped in time for the race and mercifully held off for the brunch and the awards ceremony.

Clyde’s 10k is staged every spring by the Howard County Striders. The race was directed by Charlie and Ellen Brown for the eighth year in a row. “Keeping a race director for eight years is comparable to keeping the same sponsor for 30 years,” noted announcer Dave Tripp. The Striders wish to thank the Howard County Police, who provided traffic control during the race, holding anxious motorists in check while the runners could move safely around Columbia. The Striders also wish to thank Clyde’s general manager Brent Lomax and his staff for their continued support (and especially the great brunch!).

“One girl went out at a 17-minute 5K pace (which is very fast)” Katie Brietenbach said of the women’s race at Sunday’s 10 Mile Team Challenge race in Columbia, “but she must have been a rabbit because I saw her walking at three miles.” A local favorite from the Howard County Striders, Ms. Breitenbach was at that point running behind Westminster’s Sherry Stick in second place among the women. The women’s pack then entered the hills in the Allview Estates community and, although she held second place, Katie said “the hills depleted me.” As the women emerged from the hills and re-crossed Route 29 near seven miles, Eileen Fleck of the Baltimore Road Runners and Jessica Laurent of the DC Road Runners swept past both Breitenbach and Stick. Katie continued racing as best she could. “I remembered what I was wearing,” namely, the Strider racing singlet, and she managed to finish fourth among the females and scored for the women’s team. All four broke 70 minutes, which was good enough for the Striderwomen to edge the Falls Road women and win the women’s team competition 33 points to 39 points (low score winning).

The men’s race started off the same way as the women’s race, with one runner bolting away to a commanding lead. But as the miles rolled by this guy showed no signs of slowing down. An elite runner from the Pacers-Brooks team, Steven Crane left no doubt about who would win the race. (He did, in 53:27). But Crane was unattached to a team, and that left Falls Road’s Kip Bitok battling Striders Kent Werner, Stephen Moxey, and Carlos Renjifo for second place. “I guess our pack was better than the Falls Road pack,” Carlos said, because the Stridermen carefully stayed together for most of the 10 miles while the Falls Road runners didn’t. But bragging rights for the fastest runner went to Falls Road, because Bitok out-sprinted Werner by one second. “He was taunting me,” Kent said, realizing that Kip (who has run a sub-50 minute 10 miles) might have easily outrun him. (“I told him before the race I was going to,” Kip said.) Nevertheless, Howard County placed six among the top 10 men, and 11 among the top 20, scoring 95 total points, which overwhelmed the Falls Road team (345 points) as well as all the other men’s teams.

With the Striderwomen and Stridermen winning their respective team competitions, the Striders handily won the overall coed team competition with a combined score of 456 points, well ahead of Falls Road, who managed 732 points. The top 12 men in nine teams, and the top 4 women in ten teams scored. The teams consisted of runners from local Road Runners Clubs of America (RRCA). Although the overall male and female winners received trophies, the general awards and the glory went to the teams. There were no age group awards, no random prizes, and no t-shirts. (There were, however, glazed doughnuts and coffee at the post-race ceremony.) A total of 544 runners finished the race.

The Howard County Striders host the RRCA 10 Mile Challenge every February, weather permitting. The Striders won the last 10 Mile Challenge in 2006; an ice storm prevented the event in 2007. Richard Bernstein directed the race, with considerable help from those Howard County Striders who did not race. The Striders also wish to thank the Howard County Police for providing traffic control on a long, tricky course, and the Howard Community College for serving as the pre- and post-race venue.
