Thank you to all the participants of the 2019 Series!!! The proceeds raised will be used to help fund a trip to help with the rebuilding efforts in Volusia County FL. This area continues to work towards recovery after being hit by hurricanes in both 2016 and 2017.

I would like to give a special thanks to a group of participants that made donations beyond the money paid for registration. Your extra donations are greatly appreciated.   So Thank you……Sydney Tefft, Stephen Fean, John Gilbert, Paula Lehman, Dan Hoffmeier, Richard Troutman, Frederick Kohler, Joshua Thompson, and Dean Newswanger. There are six others who wish to be anonymous. You know who you are and Thank you!

Series results are posted. They are again calculated cross country style based on overall finish position. Consideration was also given to best overall pace.

We are looking forward to 2020.  I am working to set the dates.  When finalized the Run Signup site will be back. We had a lot of changes in 2019. I have heard several comments that some participants like the start and finish in the parking lot. It had some advantages for traffic control.  Let me know your thoughts!

If you are looking for other races this year we will be back with a bigger and better Great Turkey Hunt on Thanksgiving morning. Proceeds will again go to ECHOS to help local families at during the holiday season. We have the Blue Jay 5K on Homecoming weekend here at Etown College. I am also working on another longer race that may just be SCARY!

All the best to you

Stay healthy…and Keep Running

This year we are raising money to help those who may need help to have a happy holiday season. We are working with ECHOS to identify families in need. The proceeds of the Turkey Hunt will be used to provide as many families as we can with food or gifts to give them a happy holiday.

The Great Turkey Hunt happens Thanksgiving morning, November 22^nd at 8:15 am starting on the campus of Elizabethtown College. You get the opportunity to run a 5K, a great shirt, the opportunity to hunt for your own turkey dinner and you get to help some great people who need some help. It doesn’t get any better!!

With the start of the new year, we are excited to announce that we have made some investments that give more options for race timing, including a cheaper option to allow smaller races the option of accurate chip timing.

The new system is from the same manufacturer, IPICO, that made the system we have been using for several  years. It is called TUHF, and the biggest difference is something race directors will like. Because it uses a different type of chip that are inexpensive – they are about 50 percent less than our other system – smaller races have the opportunity for premium features at a lower cost.

In addition, we have also purchased a back-up video timing system from Eagle Eye that gives real-time results. We think there’s a real need for a good back up for races, particularly larger ones, and this system provides good data if needed. If there’s a question about a time or a need to review a finish, we can stop the action and move the images forward and  backward and review the details. The video below shows the system in action for a cross country meet; it would work similarly for a road race. The system is also good because ARMS could use it time track meets.
