Annapolis 10 Miler

Annapolis 10 Mile Countdown - August 25, 2024

The Annapolis Ten Mile Run, sometimes known as the A-10, will be August 30th this year.  As usual the A-10 is sponsored by the Annapolis Striders.  It is listed by Runner's World Magazine as one of the top 10, 10 mile races in the country.  Its a beautiful run through historic Annapolis and over the Severn River, starting and ending at the Navy/Marine Corp. Stadium.  This race is not only a favorite of runners, but of AARC members as well.  Our bike brigade, shown below, splits its efforts, with two staying with the front of the pack, while two more pull up the rear.  These bikes carry APRS radiolocation equipment, so that both ends of the race can be monitored from our control point, and even via the Internet.

The race course and duty assignments change little from year to year on this event, so this should give you a good sense of the scope of the current event.  In case you are wondering, the event is limited to just 4000 runners.
