We had a successful championships this past weekend hosted by the
Montgomery County Road Runners at Agricultural History Farm in Derwood,
Maryland (a Washington DC suburb); we had well over 600 entries and 534
total finishers (3rd all time behind San Diego [651] and New York [588;
note: NYC was still two day format and we additionally had short course
races for both men and women, which accounted for 140 of the
finishers]). The 168 finishers in the senior men’s 12k is a record.
The course itself was a challenging dirt [MUD!] and grass euro-style “2k”
loop with virtually no flat sections and an over 400-meter long rolling
uphill each lap. Did I mention there was some mud?
We’ve heard good things from the athletes about the course and the event.
