Thank you to all who participated in the 28th Great Allegany Run. First of all, congratulations to our winners -- 15K AJ Kelly (48:26) and Stefanie Commins (56:26) ran terrific races, with our local runners Denny Mickey, Jeremy Rice, Jen Sober, Bobbi Moose, top three finishers. Great showing for masters winners Rob Smith and Rob Smith and how about those grand masters Tom Ruckert and Patti DeRosa. Jaron Hawkins was the hero of the day, running a 16:16 winning 5K time and then heading straight to his results role. Jackie Hawkins was tremendous leading the finish crew with Mike Kamauff and Della Cook. And it's great to see Frankfort's Rebekah McBride healthy and winning the women's 5K. There are many people to thank. First of all, George Nolan is the best deputy director. We worked very hard finding as many cones as we could so if anyone knows where we have 400 lying around for '10 let us know! Tommy Chandler, Randy Lowe, Darrell Cavey, Karen Smith, John Treber, Stephen Bucy, Kevin McPherson, Terry Bolinger, Phil Lang/Maryland RRCA, Denny Mickey, Gene DeHaven, and Chap Richardson are among the champions of the GAR, and that's just for starters. City of Cumberland; Dr. Diane Romaine; Trozzo, Lowery, Weston & Rock; State Farm/Denny Delaney; McDonald's are among the top sponsors to help us get to the point where we can have a great race and make a good proceeds donation to the Cumberland YMCA for their social service programs, such as the girls at the group home who were at the finish and 8-mile water stop, plus leading the Little Allegany Run. And thanks to all the Queen City Striders. If there is anything from the race you'd like to go over or ideas you saw from the race to plan for next year, let me know -- Dave Treber, here or dtreber@frostburg.edu. 29th running -- Saturday, October 2, 2010!

Dave,
It was a another great year for the GAR. I really liked the technical shirts. I can actually wear it when I run. I will get a lot more use from it than a cotton tee. Thanks.
Eric

Dave,
Thanks for taking the time to direct this race. I know it requires a lot of time and effort on your part, I appreciate that. Let's hope for many more years of GAR.

Eric, Masters winner! I have a 5K award for you that I should be getting back soon to give to you. What's the best way to get it to you -- it's glass so I would rather not mail it. Dave
