Burn, baby burn
Running enthusiasts looking to get in touch with nature participated in the Blue Ridge Burn-10K Saturday morning.
The 6.2-mile race was organized by Blue Ridge Outdoors magazine.
Although no ghosts or goblins were seen, a few runners came in costume, including a runaway bride and a red devil.
Winding up and down the forest of Walnut Creek Park, most runners found the 6.2-mile all-terrain course challenging.
For a few unlucky individuals, roots and rocks were unavoidable, leading to some nasty spills. At the end of the race, however, organizers reported that no people were badly injured.
"In order to succeed in a race like that you have to be a racer who is willing to attack the course and go beyond the limits of normal running," said Jason Goodale, a third-year Commerce student who finished in seventh place.
All money raised during the race was donated to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
To go, or not to go?
The Newcomb Hall "to go" meal option was stopped during prime lunch hours yesterday, when a shipment of Styrofoam containers did not arrive until after 2 p.m.
"We ran out and people don't work on Sundays to bring us supplies," Newcomb Hall Dining Supervisor Hazel Morris said.
Morris said the "to go" meal option, which began last semester, is popular among students.
"We use a lot of to go's," she said.
She added that running out of containers occurs "very seldom."
"We try to have it on hand as much as possible," Morris said.
