Book Giveaway To Follow Race By Ann Mead Ash
In 2017, Heather Smith, director of the ELANCO Library and avid runner, was planning to run the annual Shoe-Fly 5 held during Terre Hill Days. “I run the course all the time,” said Smith. However, that year, the race was canceled, and Smith still has not officially run the race because in 2018, she became the race director for the Shoe-Fly, which is now one of the ELANCO Library’s several fundraisers. “This is one of my favorite events because I am a runner,” noted Smith. “Even though I can’t run this one, I am delighted to organize it.” This year’s Shoe-Fly 5 will be held on Saturday, July 20, beginning at 8 a.m. The run will step off from the Terre Hill Community Center, 131 W. Main St., Terre Hill, adjacent to the Terre Hill Park. Packet pickup and registration on the day of the event will take place from 6:45 to 7:45 a.m. Parking and restroom

The Shoe-Fly course, which will be the same as it was in the past, is challenging because it is hilly, and the weather tends to be warm at the time of year it is held. The 5-miler offers a variety of hills cutting through Lancaster County farmland. The first mile is fairly flat. The second mile has the first notable hill, with the second climb occurring at about 3.5 miles.

In addition, the Terre Hill Days committee will hold an a la carte breakfast at the park pavilion beginning at 9 a.m. that day. The race will offer trophies to the first male and female runners to cross the finish line. Prizes will also See Shoe Fly 5 pg 7
