Frederick, Maryland - The fifth running of the Catoctin 50k Trail Race was held on Saturday August 21. After six weeks of 90+ degrees the weather broke to a overcast and chilly 68 degrees at the start. The day progressed to a cool 79 degrees. After being taunted by race management that no one would break 5:00 hours the 5:00 barrier was broken by Barry Lewis and a new course record.
Right behind Barry was ultra newbie Joel Fetterman running his first ultra also breaking the previous course record. Debbie *speed* Berner once again lived up to her name and took first place for the women in a new course record. Second woman was Patty Harden putting in a solid performance on this hilly, rocky, rough and tumble course. Living up to its reputation as a trail that requires concentration only 98 percent of the field went of course, 20 yards into the race.
