2009 will be the 29th running of the world class 10K road race in Orange County, New York. Inspired by Middletown's Olympic Marathon Gold and Silver Medal winner, Frank Shorter, the Classic 10K attracts elite and local runners alike. Created in 1981, the first race featured a duel between Frank Shorter and marathon extraordinaire Bill Rodgers. The World and Olympic Champion tradition has carried on to this day. We hope you enjoy the videos with Meb Keflezighi, Abdi Abdirahman, Joan Benoit Samuelson and Ed Whitlock by clicking on the video links at the bottom of this page. Join us this year for all of the family festivities at the brand new, state-of-the-art track and stadium at Middletown High School ! |

Classic 10K Welcomes its Newest Partner Middletown Alliance Church on Route 78, just west of downtown, has joined the Classic 10K Road Races. Members will be volunteering to help with the Junior Classic races and runs on Saturday, June 13. David Billings, pastor of Middletown Alliance and the newest member of the Classic 10K organizing committee, has the evocative email address: runningpadre@yahoo.com. We think he's serious about running and will post his 10K PR here, shortly, to prove it. Fortunately for those of you in his age group, he might not be able to run the Classic this year due to his day job, however, the Sunday service doesn't start until 10:00 am. After all, we really don't know that a minister isn't wearing a singlet and shorts under that robe, do we? |

Classic 10K Celebrates Flag Day June 14, 2009 One of the main symbols of the United States of America is our flag. On Flag Day we celebrate the flag, its makers and its designers. The original U.S. flag was authorized by Congress on Saturday, June 14, 1777. It had 13 stripes - 7 red and 6 white - that represent the original 13 colonies. There were 13 white stars in a blue field representing a new constellation. Today's flag has the original red and white stripes with blue constellation. The only thing that has changed is the number of 5 point stars; one for each state in the USA. This year, runners will enjoy a special Flag Day treat along the streets of Middletown! |
