Hungerford Heroes, Part 1

I'm not sure how closely the blog is/was followed, but during this year's Race Director event recap, it occurred to me that this is a forum that provides a unique fit for some of our needs, and that I ought to revisit it.

One of the things that we wanted to include is a spotlight for some of the people who contribute so much to make Hungerford a successful race.  Here, I can go into a little more depth and give some of them the credit they deserve.  Call it a "Hungerford Heroes" section.

To start, I'd like to thank Jeff Thorne at PT Plus.  He provides us the use of his facility, free of charge; it's the perfect spot to start the perfect little trail race.  Many of you noticed that PT Plus is super conveniently located; it's just off the highway for those who are driving in, and exceptionally close to lodging options (within easy walking distance of The Country Inn).  It's got showers available to help you clean up after the race.  It's right across the street from Trinity Church's ample parking.  It's got great space for the tent and all our supplies.  It's awesome.

I hope you've had a chance to spot the PT Plus sign as you rounded the last curve and approached the Hungerford finish line.  It's a welcome sight, for sure, and a great landmark for weary runners.

Thanks, Jeff and PT Plus, for helping to make The Hungerford Trail Races an little marvel of a trail race!

A great place to start a race!
