Rehoboth Seashore MarathonThe Rehoboth Beach Seashore Marathon and Half-Marathon is just about sold out with about a month to go until the Nation's Summer Capital hosts 3,000 runners. The races will step off at 7 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 5, beginning at the Bandstand. In the upcoming weeks leading up to the marathon, I will be adding informational pieces to the column such as the history, the water stops and the best viewing spots, to name a few items of interest. Stay tuned and make sure you have a copy of the Cape Gazette. MAL 5KA small group of 60 runners tackled Goat Island in Milford Oct. 31, raising funds for the Mispillon Art League on a course of road, grass and trail. Tim Pagano of Lewes was first across the line in 18:08. He was followed by Rehoboth runner Bryan Mack in 18:19. Steven Wheeler of Still Pond, Md., ran 21:37 for third overall to win the male masters title.Jamie Hicks of Milford won the female title in a good time of 22:02, while Angela Messick of Milton was second in 23:27. Teri Welsh of Milton was third in 25:08, which was also good enough to win the female masters title.Joe D’Amico and I spent 90 minutes marking every turn and every time the participant had to make a decision. Using cones, arrows, tape on the road, chalk, ropes and flags, we felt we did a better job than anyone else would have done in the state. Most of the participants came back and said it was marked excellent, while some told me they did not see signs and jumped over ropes, and a few came back and told me it was the worst-marked course they ever ran. I made sure I thanked all the runners for participating and supporting the cause.Patricia Gaffney is a very nice woman up from Florida training for the Philly Half-Marathon. She decided she would look for a race. She found the Seashore Striders' race in Milford and finished third in the 40-49 age group, winning her very first trophy.“I loved the race and I loved the course," she said. "I’ve never run on an off-road cross country trail, and I really liked it. I will definitely run in more Seashore Striders races next time I’m visiting.”Henlopen top 20With championship week upon us and the Henlopen Conference Championships beginning at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 7, at Killens Pond State Park, I thought it would be a good time to post the season's top 20.Boys top 20 - 1.
