The powerful El Niño that is in play this winter in the U.S. made this—the 17th annual “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New”—trail run at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area one of the most comfortable, if not the most, in the history of the event, weather-wise. Despite two days of rain leading up to today, the course was not nearly as muddy as it could have been.

For the third consecutive year, the event attendance record was broken. With the addition of 11 “newbies,” a record 25 people (and one eager canine) came out to run/jog/walk all or part of the loop course.

group of 21 at the start of the runWow! Twenty-one participants… no, wait, 21 and a half (for explanation, see the full story). The previous high number was 13 back in 2010.

It was a cold but beautiful day at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area. There were a few glitches along the way (like wrong turns and wrong parking lots), plus a surprise visit from the park ranger after the run. We included her in the holiday cheer, though.

Thanks to all who came out, especially the several first-timers and a few non–Creek Road Runners. All of you made it a fun time and a great way to “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New.”
