Three Named to Park Forest Scenic 10 Hall of Fame

Davidson, Dunbar, Pinkowski to Be Honored on Labor Day

The Park Forest Scenic 10-miler, one of the premier races in the Chicago, will induct three new members to its Hall of Fame this Labor Day at the 24th edition of the race. The announcement was made by race director Bud James.

The new members-to-be are listed below. Biographical information was provided by James.

MARTHA DAVIDSON: Martha is our long-time race administrator who is responsible for a host of things from application development to results books. She simply does it all as a true ambassador for Park Forest and the Scenic 10. Martha is a friend of running who is known and respected throughout the Chicago area as an expert on race administration. She spends countless hours in the preparation and planning of the Scenic 10. We will be happy to welcome this wonderful woman to the Hall of Fame.

ERNIE DUNBAR: Ernie Dunbar has been the journalist who has covered our race longer than any other. He has written sports for the Star Newspaper since the race began in the late 70s. Ernie has seen every winner cross our finish line and has interviewed them all in a most professional way. He has been a promoter of running and the Scenic 10. It would be hard to imagine the Scenic 10 without Ernie Dunbar as he writes his story every year with such class.

CAREY PINKOWSKI: Carey has evolved from elite-level athlete to world famous race organizer. Carey has his roots in Northern Indiana as a Hammond HS runner who was one of FOUR runners on his HS team to run under 9 minutes in 2 miles. He then ran at Villanova where he was a member of a World Record Relay team. He continued his involvement as a road racer running the Scenic 10 several times in the 80s and running some fine times. Carey more recently is known as the Race Director of the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon. As a leader in the world wide running community he has done countless things that have had a positive influence on the local running community. He has been a supporter and friend of the Scenic 10 throughout that time. We are happy to honor Carey for his fine overall accomplishments in running.
