Fall 2008 Trail Run: The trail run was a four mile run from Belmont Ridge Middle school to the path along Goose Creek and back. The kids called it our magical run. We even got to see a little history along the way.

The Claude Moore 5K on Saturday, May 12, 2007 was a fun race with a wild trail. The team had to take on swinging tree branches, broken bridges, mud, passing on a tight trail and a crazy water fight between Dani and Franklin.

The Daisy Dash was our final run of the season and what an end it was! We had eleven racers at the GOTR Daisy Race in Fairfax on May 19, 2007.

All of our runners beat their previous race and trial times. We had three kids receive trophies with Gracie finishing 1st (20.13) and Maja finishing 4th (22.15) in the 9-10 girls group, and Chris finishing 2nd (20.10) in the 13-14 boys group. In addition to our winners, Stephanie, Andrew, Taylor and John took 3 or more minutes off of their last 5K time. We also had our first time racers Amber, Morgan and McKenzie all finishing in the top 250 out of 2800 runners. Both Stephanie (77) and Amber (81) finished in the top 100. A special congratulations goes out to Abby W., who was my running partner during this race. She had never completed a 3 mile practice run before the race and came in at a 9.41pace to complete her first 5K time at 30.04.
