The 40th annual Round Church Women’s Run went off without a hitch. Opening words included some history of the beginning of the race shared by Dianne Schullenberger.
There were 159 finishers; 116 completed the 5K, and 43 completed the 10K. Two local runners took the fastest finishes: Huntington’s Kasie Enman placed first in the 5K with a speedy time of 18:17 and Jericho’s Danielle Simons-Cheney finished the 10K with a swift 41:50. The First Strides beginner women’s running/walking program again had strong representation among the finishers.
5K – Women | Age Groups | Age Graded
10K – Women | Age Groups | Age Graded
There were over 25 volunteers who handled everything from parking and registration to course monitoring and recovery food and more. Many thanks to each of them; we could not hold our races without our volunteers.
Timing was conducted by 802 Timing’s Tom and Lauren. Due to the great heat/humidity for the 10K runners especially, we will strongly consider starting next year’s race at 8:00 am.
