National Center for Children & Families Run 4 Children 4-Mile
C&O Canal Towpath, Carderock MD
Saturday, June 26, 2010
Jack Kammerer may henceforth be known as Jack The Giant Killer -- he finished ahead of megamarathoner Michael Wardian, a two-time Olympic Trials qualifier. Wardian was, however, pushing his two sons Grant and Pierce in a double baby stroller -- with a flat tire.
Anna Marie Nicholson took first place among women, with Heather France second.
Elizabeth Row and Jessica Gurney won their age groups.
Race director Elizabeth McClure thanks her many volunteers and sponsors, including Pirate's Booty and Whole Foods Market of Bethesda.
