2001 RILEY’S RUMBLE HALF MARATHON “NEW LOCATION AND NEW TIME”
By Nancy Betress 

With the popularity of Riley’s Rumble Half Marathon, this year’s event has been moved to Poolesville High School and will begin at 7:00 a.m.  Last year 700+ runners used this event as part of their training for fall marathons. 

Conducted by the Montgomery County Road Runners Club (MCRRC), the half marathon is part of the MCRRC Championship Series.  The USATF certified course will take you through the rolling countryside of upper Montgomery County with numerous water stations on the course and light refreshments at the finish. 

Due to crowd size, online registration is being offered this year until August 1, 2001.  Race day registration will begin at 5:30 a.m. 

Poolesville High School is located at 17501 Willard Road.  Take I-495 to I-270, exit at MD 28 WEST to White’s Ferry Road (107), and veer to the left.  Take White’s Ferry Road into Poolesville, continue through a four-way stop, and take the next left on Willard Road.  Poolesville High will be on your left.
