Jim,

The Howard County Striders is sponsoring the Columbia Metric Marathon
& 5k on Sunday, December 7th. The Metric Marathon is 26.2K (16. 2
miles), and runs on roads and bike paths in Columbia and Ellicott City.
Starting time is 8:15, and starts under the pedestrian over-pass
between the Columbia Mall and Lakefront. The 5K course runs on bike
paths
around the Lakefront area (great fun for kids and families).
For additional details or to print an application, see the Howard
County website: www.striders.net. You may register on Active (which is

cheaper). Long-sleeve water resistant T's, and gloves to all Metric
finishers. For questions, contact metricmarathon@

Thanks.

John Worley
Race Director
