__/ RUNNING ENCYCLOPEDIA, THE ULTIMATE SOURCE FOR TODAY'S RUNNER Congratulations are in order for Richard Benyo and Joe Henderson for writing what is soon to become a must have book for everybody who is into running, "Running Encylopedia:The UltimateSource for Today's Runner", by Human Kinetics Press. The book is captures the past, including the exitement of the running explosion in the late 70's and early 80's.

The book keeps to the topic of road racing, and these two gentlemen who have both been editors of Runners World and have 40 books between them, certainly know the sport. 'I fouund myself pouring through the pages seeing if they had left out something that had been important to the people in Michigan. I did not have to look far as the Acknowledgement page paid tribute to both Scott Hubbard and Dr. Edward Kozloff.

Again, Joe and Richard, thanks for the memories. --Art McCafferty

"But, the overwhelming interest in the event led us to sit down and figure out logistically how we could take on more teams to meet the runner's needs. This Marathon is all about the runner so we felt it important to research every angle to see how we could accommodate the demand. It's great we could do it!" Most events are nearing entry limits, therefore interested participants are encouraged to submit registrations as soon as possible. There are open spots remaining in the following events:
