A 10-K run, 2 mile fun run, Memorial Fun Walk, with Children's Races.
The next Martha's Run will be conducted April 11th, 2009 at 8:30 AM and will follow the now classic, challenging, certified trail through the hills of Mt. Lebanon beginning at the Horsman Drive entrance to Mt. Lebanon High School and finishing at Dixon Field. There will also be a 2-Mile Fun Run and a one mile walk, and children's races. Register at the Mt Lebanon Recreation Center on April 10th, 2009 or download the form and register by mail. If you cannot attend the run, you may still make a donation and receive a Tee Shirt with the beautiful Martha's Run logo (while supplies last). Our website is www.marthadixon.org.
Please remember that some important traffic restrictions will be in place on Saturday morning. The affected areas and streets are identified below, which is taken from the flyer distributed in affected neighborhoods in Mt. Lebanon:
I've been a Martha's Run volunteer for many years (watch for me at the intersection of Crescent and Inglewood), and every year I'm surprised by the number of our neighbors who ignore the traffic restrictions and jeopardize the safety of the runners -- including many seniors, and many children. I can vouch personally for the fact that the race course is well-marked days in advance with warning notices. Since the course is virtually unchanged over the last decade, very few neighbors can claim genuine ignorance of what is going on. PLEASE RESPECT THE RUNNERS AND THOSE WHO ARE HELPING MARTHA'S FUND.
Note the following addition to the race this year, which is especially poignant in light of the events in Stanton Heights last Saturday:
Slain FBI agent to be honored with Pa. 10K run
The Associated Press
MOUNT LEBANON, Pa. - A Pittsburgh-area FBI agent slain in a drug raid last year will be honored at a suburban race that already honors another agent who was also slain in the line of duty.
Thirty-three-year-old Samuel Hicks will be honored at Martha's Run in Mount Lebanon on April 11. The 10K run is named for Special Agent Martha Dixon who was killed in the line of duty in 1994.
The first-place awards for law enforcement officers who run in the race will be named for Hicks.
He was fatally shot Nov. 19 while raiding a home in suburban Glenshaw. ...

The 13th Annual Martha's Run 10-K will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2009. The 10-K Course creates a dedicated runner's lane along portions of Cedar Boulevard, Cochran Road and Washington Road. This dedicated runner's lane is essential to protect the several hundred runners, walkers and children participating in the Race from accident or injury. Although the affected streets have been posted by the Mount Lebanon Police Department, we want to provide you with this extra notice as a courtesy to you because of the location of your home. In addition, LONGUEVUE, WOODHAVEN, MARKHAM,INGLEWOOD, CRESCENT And ALTADENA will be closed to all traffic from 8:15 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. NO TRAFFIC IS ALLOWED ON THESE STREETS DURING THAT TIME.
