Run to remember

I just got to the office after watching hundreds of people, many of them cops and firefighters, running by my house for the annual Charm City Run honoring the lives lost in the Sept. 11 attacks. I know, the pic is bad, but blame a poor photograher and rainy weather!

Runners started at Baltimore Police Headquarters on Fayette Street and raced through the streets of Federal Hill and other neighborhoods before ending at Federal Hill Park. Despite the rain, people seemed upbeat. I missed seeing Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III but did catch Maj. Anthony Brown as he ran by on Fort Avenue.

From the race website: The Run to Remember Fund of the Baltimore Community Foundation which supports the Baltimore Police Foundation and Baltimore Fire Department. Direct Contributions to the fund can be mailed to the Run to Remember Fund c/o the Baltimore Community Foundation 2 East Read Street, Baltimore MD 21202. The web site will post the winners later this morning (one runner was way out in front at least on Fort Avenue).

I was running in the race and towards the end at Federal Hill Park some idiot asks a policeman "who scheduled a race at 8am on a Friday, i have to get to work!" Some people are utterly clueless!

Andy - I understand your viewpoint, but I think they should have advertised it a little bit better. Some people are basically trapped within their neighborhoods until the race is over which does affect people's work schedules. If there was a little bit more information available to the community so that they could either plan around the race, or give their employers advance notice, I think that would have gone a long way towards appeasing those who couldn't get out of the area.

It was certainly interesting for me to read the blog. Thanks for it. I like such themes and everything that is connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more soon.

About Peter Hermann
Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.

Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
