__/ MICHIGAN RUNNER TV: AROUND THE BAY 30K Hamilton, Ontario's Around the Bay 30K Road Race celebrated it's 111th anniversary on March 20th, 2005. Michigan Runner TV is proud to present our 111th episode on this traditional and tough race-- the oldest road race in North America. Could be this is a magic coincidence for a magic race? The 30K race is online now; we'll have more video on the race weekend in coming days, including a tour of Canada's athletic and road racing history with 5-time Around the Bay 30K winner Gord Dickson. http://michiganrunner.tv/2005aroundthebay/

__/ 5/3 FIFTH THIRD BANK SOLSTICE RUN PRESENTED BY COMCAST ADDS A 10K Fifth Third Bank Solstice Run officials Alan Whitehead and Doug Kurtis announced a new Fifth Third Bank10K race event which will be added to the 5K run and walk presented by Michigan Radio and Television and the kids run presented by Foresters. All events are scheduled for Saturday, June 25, 2005 in Northville.

The new Fifth Third Bank 10K will add parts of Northville Township to the historic Northville neighborhoods of the 5K. The Fifth Third Bank 10K course will include some rolling hills; courses for both runs are USATF certified. A "Taste Fest" will add to the spirit of this fun and competitive event. Presenting sponsor Comcast will expand its coverage to the new Comcast local channel which reaches more than 1.3 million homes in Michigan. For information on prize money and to register online, visit http://www.solsticerun.org.

__/ MRN ON THE ROAD - HAMILTON, ONTARIO We had a blast in Hamilton on Around the Bay Road Race weekend. Michigan runners Joanie Rogucki and Bill Hill were back for their eighth time; Nina Bovio returned for her 12th. What brings them back? "The tradition." Drubbler Riley McLincha left his basketballs behind for his the first time running "The Bay." We also talked with course record holder, Joseph Nderitu, who won "The Bay" on Sunday for the fourth time in six attempts. Joseph is also the current Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Bank Marathon champion.

Among our favorite new discoveries: the Hamilton Farmers Market (indoors and connected to the Sheraton Hotel, where we stayed), Tailgate Charlies-- no hockey? no problem says the menu of this popular sports bar, and Hess Village-- restored Victorian neighborhood houses an eclectic and funky collection of restaurants and bars.
