Saturday breakdown
For the initiated -- and fast -- it would be possible to run both, but given a choice, either RASAC's Gary Trott Memorial 5K in Fallston or the 5K Preakness Run downtown should fill Saturday's racing bill.
The Trott, which is being directed by the Renaissance AllSports Athletic Club, begins at 8 a.m. It honors the late Gary Trott, a Fallston High School teacher who died of large-cell lymphoma Jan. 28.
The 5K Preakness Run gets under way at 9:30 a.m., preceding the Preakness Celebration Parade.
For information on the Trott Memorial, call (410) 838-1931. For information on the Preakness Run, call (410) 882-5455.
