We will be traveling to a different part of West Virginia this year - Yellow Spring - to the Concord Retreat Center.  Concord Retreat has comfortable lodgings, with air-conditioning and common areas, basketball and volleyball courts, numerous playing fields, a swimming pool, and a challenging ropes course.   Also included is a game room, campfire circle, outdoor maze, and many trails.  Meals will be prepared by the retreat kitchen staff this year, and served in their dining facility.

    Adult Events

    As most of you know, we started out as a club primarily geared toward supporting the area's High School Athletes. Over the last few years, we have added programs for middle school runners and elementary runners.

    We also have a small, but growing number of adult members who are active in area races. We are currently forming Relay teams for the Frederick Marathon (each team will have 4 members, and each leg is a little over 6 Miles). We have had as many as four teams run – we take this pretty loose – so all are welcome. If you want to participate, please let us know.
