Tom's Run
June 8-9th

Tom's Run / Coast Guard Relay: June 8&9; Cumberland to Bethesda,
MD.  This is a fun two day relay event with roughly 30 legs that
covers the length of the C&O Canal. The legs range in distance from
2.5 miles to just over 11. The goal of this relay is to finish at
exactly 11am on Saturday June 9th. To achieve that goal a start time
for the team is determined by as accurately as possible determining
each runner's pace and working backwards. It is a logistical challenge
that we have almost perfected.
 We have accomplished this in the past by breaking the relay up
into 4 to 5 parts typically with groups of 4+ people carpooling up
together.  On the trail, the runner is always accompanied by a biker
while the support car has a driver and navigator (4 minimum spots) and
then extra serve other supporting roles and everyone cycles through
the different tasks.  This is a major time commitment (think 12+ hours
at least).
 I have a much longer and detailed explanation of everything if you
are interested that also comes with several large files of information
that just can't be placed in a group email.  If you are interested let
me know and I will pass it along to you.
