Back in the 1970s until 1982, the race was a five miler, first directed by Mike Silverman, then Jay Jacob Wind.
In 1999, 2000, and this year, the race tradition resumed as a one-miler.
The course starts by the playground, goes past the food vendors, up by the pony rides, around the ferris wheel and bumper cars, down by the Magic Chute, and into the home stretch in front of the pig races.
Prizes included a Redskin ticket, one-year memberships to the host, Thomas Jefferson Community Center; and prizes ranging from $5 to $10 from County Fair vendors, indoors and out.
Volunteers this year included race director Vincent McDonald, race producer Jay Jacob Wind, registrar Denise Snyder, timer James Scarborough, official starter Ray Blue, starting line coordinator Jim Watson, logistics manager Lincoln Cory, and County Fair members Les Morgan and Toby Smith.
Gatorade Propel and Luna Bars provided a sweet repast,
and a splendid time was had by all.
