June 22nd Races

Our team has more history at Coburg than any other half-marathon. This stretches back to 2002, across some race name changes and now a date change (from traditional, and traditionally hot, July).

This time we accounted for nearly 10 percent of the field (eight of 90). And two age-group winners (Norm and Everett).

Thanks to Neal for on-course help at Coburg. And to announcer William Wyckoff for singling out each of our finishers.

We also had three runners tackle Mary’s Peak on Saturday, and two waited until evening for the Silvan Ridge 5K.

Amy – finished 25K
