Dirk Sweigart is hosting a Fri fun run at his house near Judge Morris Estate He is supplying burgers & dogs and participants will only be asked to bring drinks for post race BBQ. --- From Dirk:
You are all invited to my place for a “Running of the Judge” on Friday July 9th. Plan to arrive by 6..anyone who is so inclined can run the “Judge Morris” 5K (approx) loop in the White Clay Creek State Park. Timed start at 6:15 or on run on your own if you prefer. Non-members welcome.
Time: Friday July 9th. Arrival 6 PM or later. Timed start at 6:15.
Location: Sweigart house, 108 Dewalt Road, Drummond Hill, Newark, DE. This is very close to the Polly Drummond shopping center. Directions below.
Run location: Judge Morris loop – enter at marked side entrance off of Old Coach Road directly across from Dewalt Rd. 30 foot entrance trail leads to loop where you can go either way (I prefer to turn left). There is a large field where we can set up a table with water, snacks, etc. This is approximately 200 yards up Dewalt Road from my house.
Course: Some hills, mostly long and sloping. One or two steeper “ups.” I occasionally encounter hikers or mountain bikers. All of the trail is shaded. We will time the start at 6:15, I will mark the course with white chalk so there are no wrong turns.
After Party: Hamburgers, hot dogs provided. Participants encouraged to bring either beer, wine, salads, side dishes.
Other: I could use…
1. A few people who are not running to help with timing and logistics, keep the beer cold at the house, direct stragglers to the course, etc.
2. A couple of those canopy tents (like 2 or 3) for shade.
3. Chairs (bring a couple lawn chairs if handy)
