Thank you to all the runners, volunteers, family and friends who participated in our 8th Annual Jim Schatz Memorial Trail 10K Race.  As in years past, it was another beautiful morning at Camp Highroad.  This race is held in honor of our founding race director and club member extraordinaire, Jim Schatz.  Each year since it's inception,  the weather has been glorious -- cold perhaps -- but never rain. This year was an amazing day shared with all those who participated for a common goal -- to run or walk the trail course with fellow runners, family and friends -- and to raise money for Boulder Crest Retreat.

Thank you to all the runners who gave it their all and endured the challenging trails along this scenic course, through the landscape of Camp Highroad. You are true warriors!

Thank you to our headline sponsors, Toth Financial, CGI, CapGemini, and  IT Concepts. Thank you to our other sponsors: INOVA, Commonwealth Emergency Physicians, Dirt Farm Brewing Co., TCB Associates, Catoctin Coffee, Two Hands in Harmony Pottery, and a big thanks to our anonymous and individual donors!

Thank you to the Arcola Volunteer Fire Department. They provide medical assistance and support for our race each and every year!

Thank you to Dusty Baxley, Executive Director, Boulder Crest Retreat, for participating this year and your kind remarks during the opening ceremonies. We so appreciate you and your staff and we look forward to a continued relationship with you and your team.
