After completing 32 miles over county roads and wooded trails up and down Smith Mountain, Nicholas Dipirro of Charlottesville, Va. nears the finish line as first-place winner of the first SML Dam 50K ultra run held April 2. Dipirro finished the course in an amazing 4 hours (4:12:49). Appalachian Power was primary sponsor of the race coordinated by the Franklin County YMCA. The 50 K race started and ended at the Smith Mountain Dam and wound through Bedford and Pittsylvania counties. A 5K run took participants around the dam property and upper Leesville Lake. Appalachian employees played key roles in mapping out the run course and providing security on race day; many participated in the runs.
