World Harmony Run - 2006
http://www.worldharmonyrun.org/
The World Harmony Run is a global relay that seeks to promote international friendship and understanding. As a symbol of harmony, runners carry a flaming torch, passing it from hand to hand between members of thousands of local communities, travelling through over 70 nations around the globe.
The World Harmony Run is a true grassroots event that touches the lives of millions of people along its route. The runners visit schools, community groups, running clubs, and local and national government organizations. At these stops they celebrate the goal of world harmony as well as recognize people in the community who work for harmony in their own special way.
The World Harmony Run does not seek to raise money or highlight any political cause, but simply strives to create goodwill among peoples of all nations and strengthen a sense of international brotherhood and oneness.

Heels on Fire
Ever thought what it would be like to run over 600 km in a month through the Indian state of Kerala that the National Geographic describes as one of the ten paradises on earth? The chronicles of an insane plan and the adventures of Peter Dulvy - a runner, Desmond Roberts - a photographer and Rahul Noble Singh - a writer. They are giving themselves 30 days to complete the route. Peter on his feet and the others capturing the adventure and life along the way through images and words.

Strolling Jim 40 Mile
Strolling Jim 40 Mile
Saturday, May 6, 2006
The 28th annual Strolling Jim race was held on Saturday, May 6, 2006 in
Wartrace, TN.
This year brought about some new changes. Long-time race director, Gary Cantrell, handed off his responsibility to a very capable and enthusiastic Philip Gentry and there were aid stations set up providing water, sports drinks, sliced fruit, and veggies. In past years, aid had consisted of gallon jugs of water placed on the sides of the road.
The morning, for the early start runners at 5 a.m., was a cool 49
degrees with fog. The sky was partly cloudy to cloudy with a cool breeze making it a great day for a race.
There were a total of 69 runners from the early and the regular starts that toed the line.
This year proved to be an exciting race with rivals Dink Taylor and
Dewayne Satterfield of Alabama exchanging first and second places
several times during the race. Dink ultimately won with the time of
4:48:56 with Dewayne coming in at 4:52:28.
The overall winner in the ladies division was Chrissy Ferguson of
Arkansas with a fast time of 6:48:14 with Peggy Wise of Florida
finishing in second place at 7:23:08.
David Jones of Eagleville, TN, running his 18th year, won the Masters
Division for the ninth time clocking in at 5:19:46. David was racing
with a stress fracture in his foot making this his slowest finish time
at the Strolling Jim. David will be running Badwater 135 Mile Race in
Death Valley, CA this July.
Many thanks and appreciations are given to the race director, the
volunteers and to the sponsors who all worked together in putting on a
superb event.
This 40 mile loop course is not only challenging, but it winds its way
throughout some of the most scenic countryside to be had in this part of the state. It is a "must do" on any long distance runner's itinerary.
