A few days later, more than 15,000 runners were in downtown Akron before the crack of dawn to show their love for Akron by participating in the 10th Akron Marathon, Half Marathon and Relay. Fireworks commemorated the 10th year of the race while the iconic Goodyear blimp circled above the 26.2-mile course. Greg Bean was a member of one of two Stark & Knoll teams. He had a blast running the last leg into the stadium on such a beautiful autumn day. Springside Racquet and Fitness Club for the first time ever put together four separate “Team Springside” relay teams. Two consisted of Charles Dobbins boot camp die-hards, including Sue Miller and Toril Simon. Steve Domchick put together a family team for the club and Val Murphy, along with Tom Vogel, organized another team, which this columnist participated in, plus Murphy ran with two of her grandchildren in the Family Fun Run. Springside’s personal trainer, Sean Robbins, volunteered for that portion of the event. Barb Greene and Barb Regimbal, ran the halfmarathon – besting their predicted times. Debbie Owens-Fink, Kit Gibson, Kristi Pielstick, Laura Bettinger-Spelich and Peggy Wagner – also known as “5 around Fifty” – have been participating in the relay for the past nine years. The team members surprised team captain Owens- Fink with a gift, “Akron Marathon 10 year Commemorative Book,” signed by team members, Bath residents and race founders, Jeannine and Steve Marks. One former member of the team, Gail Wilkes, opted to run with another group, Team BLTN. Joanne Johnston and her extended family put together “Team Johnston Five.” Johnston kicked off for her group by running the first leg, followed by sons-in-law, Justin Welliver and Craig Rimilinger, daughter, Heather Johnston Welliver, and daughter Laura Johnston (Craig’s wife) running the final leg. Laura is expecting her second child in February while Heather is expecting her first child in March, so Joanne has now dubbed the team “Team Johnson Seven.” The Bath Country Journal, November 2012 Many volunteers handed out water and worked at the FedEx Custom Critical booth. Bath Volunteers for Service members have for the last several years worked at one of the many water stations. This year’s volunteers included: Renee Zumpano, Amy Bowers, Nadine Clar, and Valerie Dengg. Virginia Albanese, president and CEO of FedEx Custom Critical, had a booth at the end of the race. The company managed bags of race participants’ personal items. She rounded up Bath friends, Anne Porcellato and Bowanne Hanson, to help her organize • Rabies Vaccine only $7 w/$15 visit • Heartworm Tests $20 w/$15 visit • Spay/Neuter/Dental Services Available and hand bags back to the racers. Thanks to my neighbor, Kerri and her 1-year-old daughter, Parker Mae, for leaving me a sweet, encouraging note in my mailbox the day before the race. Also, gigantic kudos to Jeannine and Steve Marks for making the Akron Marathon an awesome race – truly a job well done and a great tribute to the city of Akron.
