By on • ( 4 )

by Clay Shaw

Baltimore, MD; August 18, 2024—Marie-France Vidaver of Baltimore was the women’s champion in 44:03 and the first master.  Vidaver improved on her 4th place finish in 2023, running a minute and twenty seconds faster this year.  Lena Matthews of Baltimore was second in 46:58 and is also a master runner.  Marcia Croft of Baltimore was third overall in 47:08.

Jonas Larson of Baltimore won in 35:25. Larson is from Portland, OR and ran at John Hopkins University.  Joshua Derrick of Baltimore was second in 35:44; he was sixth in 2023 and the only runner from last year’s top ten to return.  Eric Moore of Baltimore was third in 36:53. Johnny Lyons of Parkville, MD was tenth and top master in 41:34.

The race was originally scheduled for Saturday August 10.  Strong storms prior to race day caused a postponement to Sunday, August 18.  Kudos to race organizers Falls Road Running Store for being flexible, but it’s never easy to reschedule.  312 had signed up for the Aug 10 date, with 215 crossing the line on race day.  The race is held in Druid Hills Park, Baltimore City.

    I believe Lupe’s (7th male finisher) last name is Bobadilla, not Bobdallia.

      Thanks, David! Athlinks shows his name as we entered it?? Mistakes can happen on official results, of course. Any additional insight will be appreciated.

    Thanks for your consistently excellent photography and prose. I always enjoy your work.

    Flush from recently celebrating National Apostrophe Day, I thought it would be appropriate to suggest that you reconsider the name of your publication. “Runner’s” (singular possessive) implies that you are aiming at (or owned by?) one particular runner, but I am confident that your circulation is wider than that. Runners’ (plural possessive) might be more fitting, but I recommend you drop the dreaded apostrophe entirely. “Runners Gazette” (NO apostrophe) would show that you are reporting for and about the universe of runners, with no element of possession needed.

    Regardless, keep up the great work. All of us runner’s appreciate it!

      Thank you for your kind words. Although the apostrophe could be after the s, this is how it was written by the founder of RG, the late Ed Gildea. We won’t be changing it as it is a tribute to RG’s founder and publisher.
