March 14th & 16th Race Results

The only way the Florence Half-Marathon could have been more perfect was if more from the team would have run there. Conditions were coast-perfect for running: clear, cool and calm. We collected three age-group firsts, a second and a third. Plus Lindsey and her husband Chris repeated as overall winners.

Results also include ours from the monthly OTC run.
