photo of Enoch Lee and little girlEnoch Lee, a native Newarker and University of Delaware student, lost his life in a tragic car accident this past October. There will be a unique 10K trail run—“The Race To Save The World – Enoch Lee Memorial Run”—on Saturday April 18th in Middle Run Park (off Possum Hollow Road) in Enoch’s memory.

The start of the race, in fact, is very close to Enoch’s family’s home. More information can be found at www.runreg.com/enoch.

Note: Anyone who wants to order a special race t-shirt needs to register by this Friday, April 3rd.

The race is part of a trail-running series www.trailcreekseries.org. CRR Brian Bahnson, whose wife Lauri Webber is one of the promoters of the Trail Creek Series, invites you to support and get the word out about the race.

All (100%) of the proceeds will benefit the Enoch Lee Memorial Fund.

You can run any of these races individually or participate in the Triple Crown (half, 10K, and 5K) either individually or as part of a three-person team. Proceeds benefit local homeless shelters. See the TrailDawgs website for details.

Here are the start times:
7:30 a.m. – Triple Crown Half-Marathon
7:40 a.m. – Delaware Trail Marathon (two loops of the half-marathon course)
10:00 a.m. – Triple Crown 10K

fair hill, social run, trail

graphic of course map and T-shirt artThree weeks from today at 9 a.m., Creek Road Runners will gather for the 15th Annual “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New” trail run at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area’s Black Bridge Road parking lot (off of Appleton Road, north of Md. Rt. 273).

Organizer CRR Mark Deshon is expecting a big turnout this year, with plenty of new faces. This should be a lot of fun. Note that it is an “all weather” event. Come prepared to run (not race) and have a good time with others. Please be punctual so that you are there for the pre-run photo.

Creek Road Runners is an informal association of runners/joggers who frequent the only quiet scenic road out of Newark, Delaware.
