Many members of the team participated in the Baltimore Running Festival – racing, pacing, and running for charity!

10k: Jason Tripp finished 9th overall (1st in his age group) with a time of 36:10.
Half Marathon: Deb Hicks set a new PR and bettered her grandmasters racing team record (yet again!) with a time of 1:35:26. She finished 30th overall and 1st in her age group.
Harrison Bassin also set a new PR with an impressive road half marathon debut – his time of 1:16:09 earned him 18th place overall. Eric Schuler finished 33rd with a time of 1:21:44 and Dave Berardi finished 2nd in his age group in 1:42:41.
Marathon: Hannah Betman ran as a Charity Chaser for Athletes Serving Athletes (ASA) – she started in last place and earned $2 for every person she passed during the race. She finished in an incredible 2:56:41 (4th place overall!) AND raised $4,132 for ASA!
A big group of racing team members (and other Striders club members) did an amazing job pacing the marathon as well!
