News & Information (below)

1. Here’s the first (and probably only) email blast to registered Red Bud Distance Run/Walk participants. The 10-mile and 5K both are scheduled for Sunday, April 29. Thank you very much for your interest in this first-year charity event.
2. Along with runners and walkers, this event isn’t possible without the support of our sponsors.
In addition, the Red Bud run/walk has garnered support from several other businesses and entities in the area, including: Anderson’s Corner, the campaign to re-elect Shirley Timbrook as Magistrate; Just Polkadots, Greenwood Florist, Bear Orchard Farms, State Farm Insurance – Carol Shaw Agency; McDonald’s of Romney; the campaign to re-elect Ruth Rowan to the House of Delegates;  Poland’s Furniture & Carpet; and Abundant Life Greenhouse.
A huge thanks to them.

7. 10-mile notes/ cautions
The 10-mile course is a point-to-point road run/walk from Capon Bridge to Yellow Spring along River Road. The road WILL NOT be closed to traffic at any point in time. For this reason, wearing headphones is strongly discouraged. In addition, 10-milers must STAY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD AT ALL TIMES, even on tight turns where, in training, you might normally run a more direct tangent.
8. PHARC
We are proud to report the Potomac Highlands Amateur Radio Club volunteers will be on hand to provide professional logistical support for the 10-mile event.
Questions? Call 304-209-8981 or email run@phdispatch.com.
That’s all for now!
