Race Report by Bob Reynolds:

"Participating in a Delaware Trail Dawgs event is like stepping back in time to a simpler era. They are low-key events without a lot of fuss and hype.

The Dawgs organize the venue and each participant creates their own experience.

The Wanderers Annual meeting will be held on thursday January 22 at Valley Green Inn.  The meeting will start around 7:30 pm after the regular Thursday night run, and should last about 45 minutes.  At the meeting, we will review club performance over the past year, and discuss activities in the year ahead.  The meeting will also be a social hour.

Thank you Polly for taking the time to snap these !

The course crosses terrain that is considered hallowed ground for trail runners…the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.  Set along the rugged and beautiful coast line just above San Francisco, The North Face Endurance Challenge 50-miler brings out not just local runners but some of the heavyweights of the ultra running universe.

While the Wissahickon Wanderers took their lumps in the team competition of the USATF off road series in 2008, Helen Cheung and Jeff Hayes are poised to win individual honors in the competition.

We are ordering up a new batch of Wanderer hoodies ! However, we need to commit to at least 20 hoodies to have the order processed.  The blue hoodies, which are identical to our original model and have the small logo in the front, are priced at $50 each, which covers all the costs ($55 for XXLarge).

Sunday, November 30th was downright ugly !  However, since when do temps in the 30’s, fierce winds and pouring rain deter the Wissahickon Wanderers from a challenge?!!  Yeah, all you whiny-mcwimpy-slackers who stayed in bed that morning (and you KNOW who you are), we’re talking to you!!

The following is a report of a Saturday Morning Run by Tammy-Leigh DeMent

For the Wanderers, weekend runs are always something of a choice-point. Some of the Wanderers get together at the inhuman hour of 8 am and run a fast course, starting at the Valley Green.

Then there are Wanderers who, well... wander.

Updated 12/1 Wanderers brought great honor to the club both out on the race course and in the trenches at the Philadelphia Marathon on November 23.

The Wanderers ran the course, set up the water tables at the 18/22 mile mark, handed out water, cleaned up, and managed to have a good time in the process.
