Photos added 3/2 @ 5pm - There are many great attributes about the Wissahickon Wanderers, one being that we fear no weather. What? A little snow fell in the area? "Bring it on!" said 12 undeterred Wanderers as they descended on Reading, PA February 28th to tread upon all of the winter beauty that Mother Nature left us.

Wanderer Cole Starkey will soon embark on a 30 day–3,000 mile–bicycle ride down the Atlantic Coast and west to New Orleans. The ride is an effort to raise awareness of and support for the Vermont Haiti Project's earthquake relief work in Port Au Prince, Haiti.

The Wanderers signed up for the 2010 USATF off-road series. The seven race series begins with the Ugly Mudder trail race on February 28. All the other races in the series are listed below.

The misty rain and upper 30's-low 40's temps seemed more indicative of a March than a January race. Regardless the 'spring-like' weather, the January 24 Chilly Cheeks 7.2-mile Trail Race definitely became one for the books.  

Polly Jansen was named Wanderer Athlete of the Year at the club's annual meeting on January 21. Polly did it all in 2009. She ran, she biked, she tried, organized, supported, encouraged. And to boot, she provided a lot of race reports and photos for our website. She was simply phenomenal.

In other words, hill repeats, though a temporary suffer-fest, will make you stronger, faster, meaner, and better. And who'd want to avoid that?!
