Father’s Day 10K BY DELIA EDELMANN
T he 2024 Father’s Day 10K was held on June 16, 2024 with a clear sky and temperatures between 75 and 85 degrees. It was a nice day for a June race! We had mother nature on our side, with it being a bit cooler than in previous years. This race is an out- and-back on the B&A Trail in Severna Park. It’s a short and fast race on a flat course. There were 285 finishers, led by Scott Koehler , the first overall male in 35:29. First overall female was Neta Ezer with a 38:53. The top male master’s finisher was Tom Creedon in 36:16 and the first female master’s winner was Lauren Pearlman 40:27. Age group awards were given out in 10-year increments, from under-15 to the 70-79 age group. All winners received a gift package. Post-race, runners were treated to plen- ty of water, Gatorade and snacks, including fresh fruit, chips, granola bars, and cookies. Many thanks to Dawson’s Liquor Store for their generous donation. We also cannot have a race without volunteers. They make

everything go smoothly, and without them, it would be impossible to have a successful race. Thank you volunteers for being the heart of the Father’s Day 10K. Special thanks to Jeanne Larrison who once again sang the Star Spangled Banner. Last but not least, thank you to the in- credible team of first responders. Our police department is outstanding! We also had the help of Paul Bowling and the Anne Arundel County Community Emergency Response Team , which has provided first aid and med- ical support for Annapolis Striders events since 2019.
