Blockhouse Point

Course results can be seen below.

Note: The Brown, Green, Red and Blue courses had an untimed road crossing. The results below are the net time after the crossing time, of up to 3 minutes, was subtracted. However, the splits posted to Attackpoint and to WinSplits, and to the tracking programs (RouteGadget and LIVELOX), will show the time without the road crossing deducted.

Splits are available on Attackpoint or Winsplits.

To enter your routes and see how others went, head to RouteGadget.

LIVELOX is another option for viewing the routes people ran.

Photos will be posted by Wednesday.

It’s all about the volunteers!

Thanks to the support of over 20 dedicated volunteers, QOC enjoyed a successful inaugural event at Blockhouse Point on Sunday. The weather was ideal for running in the venue's hilly but remarkably clear woods.
I can’t stress strongly enough how essential the volunteer effort is to managing the full schedule of events we offer each year. As club members, we all share the responsibility to pitch in and help when needed.
So, thank you to Mike Newman for negotiating agreements and insurance coverage with Montgomery Parks, Bretton Woods Country Club, Chariots for Hire, and the porta john company so we could have this event at a new venue. Mike works quietly behind the scenes, but without his efforts, there would be no Maryland events for the rest of us to enjoy.
Thank you to Nadim Ahmed, Peggy Dickson, and Greg and Kathleen Lennon for setting the courses in weather that was not nearly as agreeable as we enjoyed on Sunday.
Thank you to Valerie and Amy for their usual outstanding event timing efforts. We are incredibly fortunate to have them on hand at virtually every event to ensure the smooth operation of that critical aspect of the operation.
Thanks to Sarah Menke-Fish, Suzanne Izzo, Harry Jones, Stephanie Coffin, and Erin Brandt for working the early shift to get things set up, the shuttle running smoothly, checking in the competitors, and teaching the newbies, and to David Levine for helping with registration and beginner instruction for the late shift.
When everyone else has gone home to enjoy a cool beverage, the controls still wait in the woods for someone to retrieve them. I'm grateful to our crack pick-up team of Ed Joseph, Charles Carrick, David Onkst, Michal Jarnik, Greg Palardy, and Michael Dickey for making quick work of the task. 
Thanks to Richard Briggs, and David and Reiko Rager for helping pack up the meet kit, and special thanks to the Ragers for taking it with them. My wife and I are thrilled to have it out of our garage!
QOC also greatly appreciates the cooperation of Montgomery Parks for allowing us to hold this first-time event at Blockhouse Point, and to Bretton Woods Country Club for making their swimming pool parking lot available to us. A special shout-out goes to Eva from Chariots for Hire for cheerfull making dozens of trips back and forth between the park and the parking lot.
Most importantly, a heartfelt thank you to Nadim Ahmed for his countless hours of work updating the map and designing the courses for this first-time event. More than any other person, Nadim made this event happen. I can't remember ever hearing as many rave reviews of a venue and its great courses as I did on Sunday. Outstanding work, Nadim. Thank you!
- Don Fish, Event Director
