Joppa Flats Running Club gives special thanks to our major sponsor, The Institution for Savings, who has supported this race for many years. The Joppa Flats Running Club also thanks the staff and management at the Maudslay State Park and North End Boat Club for their support of this event.
Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the race at Maudslay and we are already starting the planning for that milestone race.
