 35th anniversary! The first Tom Ausherman 5 miler was held in August of 1988 and was won by Tim Cook of Chambersburg. The race was developed by the Tom Ausherman Memorial Committee designed to honor Tom Ausherman who died following a 2 mile Hagerstown Run for Fun race held at Hagerstown Junior College on June 2, 1987.
Tom Ausherman was one of the founding fathers of the Chambersburg Road Runners and served as Vice President of the Club for many years. He was also very active in the Marine Corps League and was named Marine of the Year in the state of Pennsylvania in 1983. The Marine Corps League in conjunction with the Tom Ausherman Memorial Committee and support of the Chambersburg Road Runners and their dedicated sponsors are proud to bring this race to Chambersburg.
Since the inaugural race in 1988, several Olympians have raced the flat course which winds through the scenic north end of Chambersburg, and the race has grown from 200 finishers to 400 in 2011. Cash Prizes1st, 2nd, 3rd

Timing  |
Timing for this race will be provided by Timber Hill Timing.
Everyone will start together with a gun/whistle/siren/"GO".
The finish will be chip timed. Your time and place will be taken automatically from your timing chip.
Your finish time will be calculated from the starting gun and your chip finish time to give your gun time.
All awards will be determined by gun time meaning the first person across the finish line is the winner.
You are responsible for wearing your race bib and timing chip properly!All runners must wear a timing chip on their shoe in order to receive a time and to be eligible for awards. Click here for instructions on attaching your timing chip.
Runners must wear their bib number on their chest in order to be identified in case of a timing chip failure.
Failure to wear your timing chip on your shoe or your bib number on your chest may result in a disqualification at the discretion of the Race Director or Timber Hill Timing.
Please be patient!Timber Hill Timing strives to produce accurate and timely results but like any technology it is not perfect and 100% reliable. We employ several backup measures in case the timing system is not working as planned. Depending on the issue, there may be a delay in producing the results. Accurate results will always be a higher priority than quick results. Please be patient as we work to resolve any problems that may arise at a race.
Occasionally results will not be available before you leave the race, but they will be posted on the website as soon as results can be verified.
