ATM RACE RULES

ATM RACE DAY POLICY: The race takes place rain or shine. No deferments. No race day package pick-up. Entry fees non-refundable.

TIMING AND RESULTS

The ATM uses the IPICO system to time and score runners. It begins timing your race the instant you cross the start line. So don’t worry if it takes you several minutes to reach the start — those extra minutes won’t be counted towards your official race time.

To ensure timing accuracy, please make sure your race bib is:

• Clearly visible on the front of your torso

• Unaltered and unmodified (Do not fold or wrinkle.)

• Pinned in all four corners

• Is not covered (with jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)

To be eligible to receive an official race time and results, runners must…

• Cross the “start”, “10K” and “finish” timing mats

• Maintain a 15-minute-mile pace or better

• Complete the entire course

• Finish the race within two hours, 30 minutes

Slower participants will be turned at 14th Street and Independence Avenue and will not be allowed to complete the entire course. Anyone not completing the entire course will not receive an official race result.

RACE BIB POLICY

Race bib swapping is not allowed. Any unregistered runner that competes with a registered runner’s race bib will be disqualified. If the unregistered race bib number is associated with a team, the whole team will be disqualified from the competition. ATM officials take a firm position on handing off race bib numbers due to liability issues and the adverse impact on scoring, results and awards. Bibs with word “virtual” on them are not permitted on the ATM Race Course.

Army Ten-Miler Training Delivers Fitness, Enhanced Ministry to Army Chaplain

The core responsibilities of a chaplain are to nurture the living, care for the wounded and honor the dead Conceived to support Army outreach, build morale, and promote physical fitness, it comes as no surprise that the Army Ten-Miler draws many runners who have used the challenge of participation as a means to achieve their own health and wellness goals.

U.S. Army Chaplain (CH) (MAJ) Paul Roman, DMin., MAR counts himself among that number, having signed up for his first ATM in 2020 with a stated goal to lose weight and relearn how-to run in preparation for the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) shortly thereafter. Running the ATM that October was the challenge he set, prodded by friend and fellow Army CH (MAJ) Glen

Teasing aside, running was not an easy task for CH Roman due to injuries sustained in a vehicle accident a decade earlier, while deployed in Afghanistan with the 48th Infantry Brigade. He did not, at the time, realize the severity, having remained in theater as his tour was nearing an end. Prior to his next deployment, CH Roman learned that his foot was badly broken requiring reconstructive surgery which took place the following week.

CH Roman was able to remain in the military but stopped running for ten years due to pain and fear of reinjuring his foot. Over that decade, he said, the inactivity “caused my body to change and gain weight, affecting my overall health and my ability to accompany my Soldiers in physical activities. I worked out with weights; I was always very strong and could lift a house; however, I was never a natural runner, and ran toe first.

“I did want to run and join my Soldiers on the track, but I had these roadblocks, both physical and mental. When I expressed my desire to my great friend CH Thompson, he challenged me to take part in the Army Ten-Miler. I thought he was joking.”

But his physical condition, he then realized, was no laughing matter.

Then assigned as Battalion Chaplain to Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion (HHBN) at Schofield Barracks in Honolulu, Hawaii, he quickly realized that Thompson was serious, and after praying on it, he agreed. Both men subsequently registered for the ATM, setting the stage for his comeback story.

“I met with a civilian run coach who worked with military personnel over at Wheeler Army Airfield,” Roman said. “The coach said I would be able to run again, but I needed to change my diet, lose weight, stop lifting and focus on learning a new style, becoming a midfoot runner. I was fitted for proper running shoes with the necessary support. I quickly lost weight in the first month, dropping from about 225 down to 205, running what was really more of a slow jog at that point.”

Roman attributes much of his transformation and success to CH Thompson, a veteran ATM participant who became his training partner on the track at Wheeler, speaking truth in love and offering tremendous motivation as well as sage advice.

One drizzly day, he set out from home with headphones for a solo run, not focused on distance, just running. At two miles he didn’t hurt … at four miles, he felt good and kept going. He ended up running 6.2 miles that day, which became a regular course for him. He could listen to music, spend time with God, work on sermons, and more.

Based on his experience, he and Thompson created a running group called On Higher Ground, comprised primarily of chaplains and other Soldiers, that would conduct regular runs followed by fellowship gatherings and breakfasts. They created a course at Wheeler for people seeking to run the Army Ten-Miler, which emerged as a resounding success with close to 20 regular participants.

Today CH Roman is World Religions Director and Associate Professor at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center located on the Presidio of Monterey in California and has brought with him a pure enthusiasm for running and support of the Army TenMiler. As he had in Hawaii, he created a Virtual ATM course, in which several individuals, both military and civilian, have participated.

“Physicality is part of ministry, but I never thought of running in that space because to me it was a solitary endeavor,” he says. “I realized in Hawaii –and have discovered anew in my current post -- that running groups and other physical endeavors allow opportunities to meet and pray with young Soldiers who might not be drawn to chapel.”

The Presidio running group is about 80% military and 20% dependents and civilians, male and female, young active duty through Veterans, with a focus on fit minds and fit bodies. In addition to regular runs, they participate in monthly Wear Blue Run to Remember

events and a variety of other races and runs, but there is a natural draw for ATM.

These runs, the breakfasts and the fellowship have generated lifesaving and life-affirming conversations among the larger family of the military, widening the definition of ministry. While the young Soldiers don’t necessarily identify with the loss of comrades experienced by those in the middle, like Roman and older retirees, together they share the warrior ethos.

The core responsibilities of a military chaplain are to nurture the living, care for the wounded and honor the dead. The Chaplain Corps was founded in 1775 before the United States declared independence as the Continental Army was being formed. The Chaplain Corps is a year older than the United States and played a part in building resiliency. Today, the Army has roughly 1,300 active-duty Chaplains and 1,200 in its Reserve components who represent five major faith groups –Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist –and more than 120 denominations.

James Madison University Army ROTC Run Team

Hones Competitive Spirit for ATM; College Cadets Display Esprit de Corps at the Army’s Race

Among the military academies and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs competing in the 2023 Army Ten-Miler (ATM), a highly competitive group of students from James Madison University’s (JMU) Duke Battalion are participating for the fourth consecutive year, the second one in-person.

According to race officials, as of September 1, over 500 teams have entered the 39th annual ATM, including 146 Active Duty Military Teams, 84 Military Academy and ROTC Teams and 141 ROTC Programs are participating in the race as individual runners from various ROTC programs. The Duke Battalion have their sights set on bringing one of the largest contingents to the nation’s capital with more than 30 runners participating led by team captain Cadet Meadowe Cislo. They will join more than 25,000 runners navigating the streets of Washington, DC, sharing the esprit de corps of the Army’s Race.

The Madison running team, under the tutelage of Army Captain (CPT) David Smith and program leadership of Army Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Michael “Graham” Davidson, has been training with run coach Mike Fox since they first launched. “Originally I was brought in to work with all of the Army ROTC cadets on running so they could achieve their best results on the running portion of the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT),” said Fox. “As an extension of that, we sought out ways to enhance their enthusiasm for running, something bigger than training runs around campus and greater Harrisonburg.”

Fox and the Battalion leadership decided that the Army Ten-Miler would be perfect and an appropriate challenge for the cadets. According to Fox, “it really is a natural fit, first as the Army’s race, and secondly because it aligns with Army fitness goals. The fact that DC is relatively close to our Harrisonburg campus (131 miles away) is a bonus.”

Not surprisingly, many members of the Duke battalion are from Northern Virginia, several of whom were high school athletes, so the group does claim more than a few committed runners for whom the additional training helps build endurance. All team members participate in regular physical training with their fellow Cadets at least twice weekly, which always includes running.

While many of the cadets are seasoned runners, for others, ROTC PT may be their first experience running, so Fox develops very specific training regimen for each person based on a multitude of factors. The team’s advance training involves regular PT runs of 2-3 miles. They run twice together every week, one shorter, 3-4 miles at a conversational pace, and then a longer Saturday run. Coaches focus more on pacing for the accomplished long-distance runners, while those newer to running learn how to build endurance.

JMU Army ROTC sent 32 runners to the team’s first in-person race in 2022, and they found that running on a bigger stage carried them. Even those with some trepidations were amazed by the experience of running among a crowded field, as spectators cheered them on as they negotiated the monument and landmark-filled route in the nation’s capital.

The 2020 Virtual ATM was the first one for the JMU cadets, and it was determined that they would compete together, on actual race day – October 17 – along a course that Fox created, featuring two five-mile loops from the JMU campus, ending at a local running store in town. It would be a day none would forget. While Fox was on the course, his wife and fellow run coach Nelle Fox was in the finish area, when he heard a massive explosion. His wife texted that a building exploded, and people were injured.

When he arrived at the site, the running store and other buildings had been destroyed by a gas explosion just 30 yards from the finish line. Fox said that three of the cadets were transported to hospitals with minor injuries, and miraculously, no one was badly injured. What caught his attention next was the leadership displayed by the other cadets, who immediately jumped into action ensuring that their teammates and bystanders were accounted for among other things. One cadet, a volunteer firefighter, donned his gear and joined the emergency responders to fight the fire. Not surprisingly, for the 2021 Virtual ATM, the team opted for a different course.

Army ROTC is the largest officer-producing organization in the American military, with more than 600,000 men and women having earned commissions through the program. Among them are two chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, seven Army chiefs of staff, two Cabinet secretaries and a sitting Supreme Court associate justice. Few other military commissioning sources can claim such significant lineage. ###

A team of more than 30 runners is expected to compete at at the 2023 Army Ten-Miler.

The United States Army’s World Class Athlete Program offers an incredible opportunity for Soldier-Athletes looking to Be All They Can Be as they pursue their Olympic dreams while representing the United States and the Army.

WCAP, based out of Fort Carson, Colorado, stood up in 1997. Soldier-Athletes from the Active, Reserve and National Guard components have been training for and competing in both the Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. There have been 518 Soldiers who have won 121 medals for the United States in Olympic and Paralympic competition since 1948.

The U.S. Army Installation Management Command’s G9 Directorate oversees WCAP. Soldier-Athletes compete in various events throughout the year while developing their careers in the U.S. Army. This year, several WCAP Soldier-Athletes will compete in the Army Ten-Miler on Oct. 8 at the Pentagon.

Capt. Robert Cheseret, a former two-time national champion distance runner for the University of Arizona, enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2009. The WCAP Commander also served as a Soldier-Athlete and understands what it takes to be a part of and lead an elite unit of top-ranked, highly disciplined, and skilled Soldier-athletes.

Some of his career highlights include winning the gold medal in the U.S. 5-kilometer national championships in 2010, taking second place in the Army Ten-Miler in 2016 and contributing to All-Army’s dominance in the Army Ten-Miler’s International Division from 2010 to 2018.

Between WCAP assignments, he earned an Army commission and completed Armor Basic Officer Leader’s Course, among other operational assignments. As an armor officer, Cheseret served as mobile gun system Stryker platoon leader for the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.

Later, he served as a battalion signal officer for the same brigade.

“Serving as an athlete and then later as a battalion S6, I think, gave me a wide range of experiences, which helped me realize what I wanted to do,” Cheseret said. “When it was announced that WCAP command might come open, I reached out for the opportunity.”

WCAP Soldier-Athletes also reach out to their communities by boosting Army recruitment efforts through their unwavering dedication to their country and respective sports. Engaging in outreach activities, WCAP Soldiers conduct clinics, deliver motivational speeches, and make appearances to support Army recruiting stations.

Through the Total Army Involvement in Recruiting (TAIR) program, the WCAP Soldier-Athletes share their stories in high schools and colleges, expound on the many different opportunities and programs in the U.S. Army and actively contribute to missions. The outreach leaves an indelible mark on thousands of lives each year.

Educator Tours offer WCAP Soldier-Athletes a unique opportunity to collaborate with influential figures such as Army leaders, political leaders, school superintendents, and other educators that shine a light on the Army’s dedication to excellence and service.

The U.S. Army is a symbol of inspiration and support for aspiring Soldier-Athletes who harbor Olympic and Paralympic dreams while protecting and serving their nation.
