Our Monday volunteer spotlight this week shines on Allison Jonske. She volunteered with us for the first time at last year’s Pawpaw 10 and 5 Miler. This year she is back to run it.

In her words:

1. Which events you have volunteered at: 2024 Paw Paw
2. Favorite part of volunteering: getting to cheer people on and support their efforts
3. Favorite memory from volunteering: chatting with the other volunteers and hearing their trail running stories
4. Any pictures from your volunteer stint: I ran Dogwood this year and included pictures from there.

Thanks for running Allison!

24 years ago, I went to work like any other day. Yet the events of 9/11 would shape my life in a way few other days would. 22 years of service in the military left me with lifelong friends, as well as great and painful memories.

Over the last 15 years, running (trail running specifically), has provided a great outlet for me. I know it has for many of you. Today is normally a day of reflection for me. I know many of you are hurting for a variety of reasons.I am extremely grateful all of you chose to run with us out on the trails. I hope you can find some peace out there. Thank you again for being part of our community. If anyone ever needs to talk, I am here for you.

Our volunteer spotlight this weeks falls on Lee Chappell. Lee has been running and helping out for years. He has run and volunteered at a number of our events. In his words:

“Events I’ve ran. James River X3, Dogwood, Freight Train x2, half of Night Train lol and the Pawpaw 10 miler. I’ve volunteered for Night Train, Piedmont 8 hour and James River. My favorite part about volunteering was the vibe, helping runners reach their goals and just the sense of community from everyone. I think my favorite memory from volunteering was watching a woman roll up almost an hour late for Piedmont and getting first place. That was definitely a WOW moment.”

Thanks a lot Lee!

See you out on the trail!

Rush
Iron Maiden
Dream Theater

If you ever look at my running playlists, these 3 legends show up more than any other bands. I was able to see Rich on their final tour and Iron Maiden right before COVID. But I had never seen Dream Theater.

A rare Fall weekend without a race to direct or time meant I could head up to Baltimore to catch Dream Theater finally in person. And what a show! Despite wearing earplugs it was still the loudest show I have ever heard. The musicianship was top notch!

What are your go to bands and music on the trails?

Our second Fall race at Powhatan State Park has always been known as our friendliest event. Piedmont 8 Hour features a short runnable loop and beautiful scenery provided by Mother Nature. Come out and run/hike and then sign the family up for the Parent Loop to get out on the course with you!

Plenty of room for more runners at the Pawpaw 10 Miler and 5 Miler. The hiker option is becoming very popular!

We also still need a couple of volunteers for the 3 road crossings in the race.
