On Saturday, July 17, NORSA runners gathered in Rockville for the annual twilight 8k hosted by the Rotary Club. Several thousand racers toed the line near 9:00 PM on a hot, humid Saturday night. Among those runners were Matt White, Steven Long, Allison and Sean Tully, Emily Paladino, and Tom Saffell. The course takes the runners from downtown Rockville through some neighborhoods of Rte 355 and through Montgomery College's campus before shooting the racers down 355 toward the finish. Although the heat made this race fairly brutal, the runners were refreshed with free Gatorade and Michelob Ultra afterward.
