A hardy group of runners enjoyed warm, slightly humid conditions for the May 5, 2001 edition of the New Members 8K at Lake Accotink Park in Springfield, Virginia. 26 runners headed out on the double out and back course that was slightly short. The race director promises to have an accurate certified course for next year. For the men, Mike Domin ran an impressive 27:00 to win the race. Roseann Neatrour also ran well, first among the women in 36:50. First new member for the men was Kirk Gordon in 29:10.
The race was held on Saturday morning to try to increase turnout. It likely will return next year to its historic place as the first weekday evening run of the year.
The race director would like to thank volunteers Roland Elliott, Gary Smith, Tom Nowicki, Stephanie Nowicki, and Danny Finn, for a job well done. See you all again next year.
