25K

Dec 06, 2003

33 degrees, no snow, no wind, occasional sun

 

new course layed out by McMahon, all on Riverwalk with no repeats.

30 runners, 18 went 25K

Overwhelming majority of 25K runners liked and preferred the new course layout

Grant Woodman ran in front by himself ticking off 5:36 miles


25K

32nd annual

Dec 03 2005      Rivertrails

Cold, 21°, very icey and slippery

 

Note:  afterward several hours were spend wheeling the co urse because our
calculations and two geo calculators said the course was .4 of a mile too
long.  It was!  At the Moore’s River turnaround it was .1 of a mile too
long.  That extra was run 4 times.  Results are with corrected distances.  In
the case of the full 25K the times are recalculated to 25K, two fast times Grant
Woodman and Donavan Hornbeck who started about38 minutes late..

W
eather: overcast 23 degrees at start        

Course conditions: icy on bridges, lumpy packed snow        

 

In spite of the weather, there were 34 participants of 10

the 25K. Carl Willits, coach at Perry HS, is getting his

charges out doing longer runs - lookout for payoff in

good results next year.
