The start of the DHRT Half-Marathon has a few hundred yards of rails, a restored ancient wooden caboose, a decrepit freight car, and “The Rocket”, a working railway pumper cart. Race volunteers use it as a moving platform for photographing the runners approaching the finish. See this moving illustration. Among the Fredericksburg Area Runners Club members who finished the race this day was Vic Culp, longtime director, in black hat at back.

Each was 5th or 6th in his age group!
Team Wildout finished in a time of 03:49:35 with a pace of 08:46 min/mile. Erin: Yay DE marathon relay and Dogfish headbands! Thanks to Kellie and Heather for rounding out our team at the last minute. Phew.

(The trail is on the far side of that guard rail.) And below, a police officer’s photo from the opposite side of the river that day, on River Road at the entry to Falmouth Beach.
