Sports Saturdays: Stoneleigh Lanes
Saturday, July 20th, 2013 by WLOY Staff
Hours Vary
6703 York Road
Well, I seem to be running out of sports events in Baltimore, shocking right, so this week I figured I’d highlight a cool hangout for everyone to check out. Stoneleigh lanes is located on York Rd. between Towson Univerity and Northern Parkway and is not your typical bowling spot. No, Stoneleigh lanes is actually a 16 lane Duckpin Bowling Alley. Now, duckpin bowling may seem daunting at first. I mean, how do you hold the bowling ball? Do you throw it like a baseball? Actually, duckpin bowling isn’t all that different from normal bowling and from my experience is a lot of fun. Stoneleigh Lanes also has specials nearly every day. For example, with a College ID, students can bowl at a discounted price on Tuesdays. On Fridays, there’s live karaoke too! Looking for a cool weekend or night hangout? Then grab your friends and your bowling shoes and head down to Stoneleigh Lanes.
For more information, visit Stoneleigh Lanes website.

Sports Saturday: Mud Run?
Sunday, March 17th, 2013 by WLOY Staff
Have you ever wanted to push yourself to the max? On May 5th, your dreams may finally come true.
Straight from the website, www.TerrapinMudRun.com, they say,
“Terrapin Adventures is teaming up with Playworks Baltimore to put together a 5K mud run to help raise money to bring recess to schools in the Baltimore area. The Terrapin and the Hare Mud Run is a fun, high intensity, obstacle course run through the woods of Savage, Maryland.
Starting at Terrapin Adventures, the Terrapin and the Hare will include 5 Kilometers of very tough terrain and will contain obstacles such as, climbing walls, tires, webs, and, of course, mud. This race is not for the weak of heart. If you like a challenge and some food topped off with a beer from the Rams Head Tavern at the finish, then the Terrapin and the Hare is the race for you. Come run, jump, climb and get muddy for recess on May 6. Bringing the family? Playworks coaches will provide games and activities for the kids while you run the course.”
So what else is there really to say but, “I am going for it, Anthony (that’s me, the Sports Director)”

Sports Saturdays: Tuesday and Thursday Runs at Goucher College
Saturday, March 16th, 2013 by WLOY Staff
Sometimes, it is better to actually participate in an athletic activity than just catch the highlights on ESPN. Sometimes, it is better to just try and meet some friends and run somewhere.
Yes, running, America’s Past Time….I mean, America’s…thing we should all do once and a while.
At Goucher College, every Tuesdays and Thursdays, the BRRC Club runs along the trails that surround Goucher. Goucher graciously allows for private individuals to coordinate with each other and take recreational runs together. Runs are mostly at night and it is often smart to check ahead of time to make sure their is a run going on.
Now, the event is perfect for all levels. Beginners will often be able to run with each other and as you get more comfortable, along with your body becoming more acclimated to long distance running, you can move up with the next level and so on.
It is a great way to relax and de-stress and happens to be on key days of the week when stress is at its maximum
