Shatter the Silence Trail Run | August 19, 2010 | Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Peninsula OH

Dear Runners,

Thank you for your participation in the inaugural Shatter the Silence. After much debate and several request we are posting the 2010 STS race results.

As you know, the course was sabotaged by three teen-aged males. Not only did they move cones and re-arrange them, they also threw rocks at runners.

Due to the course tampering, timing the 5K and 10K were rather difficult. Cleveland Plays Racing did the best they could considering the circumstances. Please keep in mind, as you review results the times are not a true reflection of the runner's abilities for a 5K or 10K distance.

T-shirts have been reordered. Once the RDs have them in hand, they will contact you.

The 2011 event will under go changes to make ensure the event operates smoothly.

We will use colored flags instead of cones.

The course will be marked in miles not kilometers. We will have the new course maps posted for your review by October. Along with 2011 registration and other important information.

Rangers will be on the course to ensure the trails are free of mischievous juveniles.

We will recruit more volunteers, especially for the course.

Many of you have reached out and told us, via e-mail, what a wonderful time you had, despite the course issues. We would like to thank you for taking the time to do that, it really means a lot to us.

We hope to see you next year.

Regards,

Stacy Rhea and Andrea Chisnell | Race Directors
