Annapolis Strider Kevin Wilson worked with the Principal of Crofton High School, Katie Feuerherd, to allow the school’s running track to be open to public use during non-school hours and other times it isn’t occupied pursuant to a permit.

Please refer to the email from Ms. Feuerherd:

“Mr. Wilson,

After further discussion, we have made the decision to open the track to community use. For community use, the side gate closest to the field between the stadium and the tennis courts will be unlocked moving forward so that community members may access the track. Please note that use of the track may only occur during non-school hours; during times that the stadium is not being used for school extracurriculars, functions, and athletic programs; and during times that other groups (such as Recreation and Parks) have permits for use of the space. 

We appreciate your follow-up inquiry and look forward to providing this opportunity to our local community members.”

Thank you to Annapolis Striders volunteer, Denise Hyde, for the photos!



Annapolis Strider Kevin Wilson worked with the Principal of Crofton High School, Katie Feuerherd, to allow the school’s running track to be open to public use during non-school hours and other times it isn’t occupied pursuant to a permit.

Please refer to the email from Ms. Feuerherd:

“Mr. Wilson,

After further discussion, we have made the decision to open the track to community use. For community use, the side gate closest to the field between the stadium and the tennis courts will be unlocked moving forward so that community members may access the track. Please note that use of the track may only occur during non-school hours; during times that the stadium is not being used for school extracurriculars, functions, and athletic programs; and during times that other groups (such as Recreation and Parks) have permits for use of the space. 

We appreciate your follow-up inquiry and look forward to providing this opportunity to our local community members.”
