LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Hello Striders,
(page 14) is over 20 years overdue! Stephen Hord’s “Love Wins” story (page 19) was sent to me more than two years ago. Since then, he’s changed his charity affili- ation. I offered him a chance to update it, but he chose to keep it as is, saying that was where his heart was at the time. Readers, you can help make sure we don’t have another three-year publishing gap by sharing your stories. Have you traveled to any destination races? Been training hard and hit- ting new personal records? Or maybe you’ve volunteered or spectated at an event that in- spired you? Photos and articles are always welcome. I hope you enjoy this issue, and I look for- ward to reaching your mailbox again soon. Happy running! HOW TO CONTACT THE EDITOR: We welcome your comments and suggestions. Send them to Lauren Colvin at streak@ annapolisstriders.org. Please include your name, phone number and email address.
Welcome to the new look of The Streak! For our new- er members, this may be your first time seeing this publication. Years ago, issues were printed quar- terly. I have to say, I’m im- pressed that our previous

editor was able to pull that off. It’s definitely a challenge to gather enough race reports, run- ner stories and photos to fill these pages. Our last print issue was three years ago, but I’m go- ing to do my best to make sure that kind of gap doesn’t happen again. In this issue, you’ll find recaps of many of our 2024 races. While some of those events have already held their 2025 editions, I de- cided to run (pun intended) with the 2024 articles. Thank you to the race directors who updated their 2023 (and in some cases, 2022) reports for this issue. I don’t feel too bad about including some late reports.
