The Wanderers have posted some incredible performances during the past year out on the roads and trails of the Delaware Valley. Now is the time for Wanderers to show they can excel in support as well as performance. The Wanderers will be operating a water station at the Philadelphia Marathon on November 23.

The Wissahickon Wanderers once again proved that weekends are not for slackers!  Ten Wanderers proved their might in four different races the weekend of November 8th & 9th:

Wanderers ! Please take a minute to vote for Anne Mahlum from Back On My Feet. Should she win the CNN Heroes award, she'll qualify for a large grant which she'd put to great use.

The Harrier’s Ball will be held on November 15 to benefit the Greater Philadelphia Track Club.  The Beef and Beer event is being put on by old Wanderers friend Chuck Shields.  The Greater Philadelphia Track Club is the new name for the elite Philadelphia Athletic Charities team which includes numerous Wanderers, like Bob Reynolds, Fred Kenney, and Paul Hines.

The event will be held at the North Penn VFW Post in Glenside from 7 pm to 11pm.  Admission price is only $25 which is the best deal in the Delaware Valley.

Cold hard cash, carved pumpkins, t-shirts, fuzzy socks . . . and beer!  These were the spoils of war that the Wanderers reaped at the Bobtoberfest 4 mile trail race on October 25th!

October 11th and 12th was quite a weekend for the Wissahickon Wanderers who made terrific showings in 4 different races!

Rob Schiff ended up going four for four in the Wanderers September trail series winning the September 25 race in a time of 18:42.  The Drexel Med Student won each one of the races although the last couple of races were really close, and on the 25th Rob won by a mere 13 seconds.
