Results of Autumnal Equinox Race#150 on Sept 22nd, 6pm

Results of Summer Solstice Run #149

 We had a perfect morning to run, clear skies and cool.   It was our first race with the Thurman Street Bridge detour which increases the course to about 7.00 miles.   Attendance was low for such a perfect morning to race.

Come out for the next race it is the 150th race in MGP series.  Monday Sept 22nd at 6pm

Here are the results for today.

 

Results of Vernal Equinox Race#148

We had a very nice evening to race, it was sunny and dry.  Perfect cool temperature for running.  We had to use the Upshur detour as the Thurman stairs were already closed.   The bridge was still open though for the return trip.   Thanks for those that ran and the good cookies that Jen brought.

I talked to a few runners and they thought it might be faster to take Upshur as you skip going up the short hill and going down the stairs.   That portion of the detour only adds .06 miles which makes distance 6.82

2013 Race Results

Here is a summary of the race results for everyone that ran during 2013.   We had a total of 50 runners in 2013 which is the lowest since I took over.  2010 we had 70, 2011 we had 67, in 2012 we had 59.   We could use a few more runners so feel free to invite your friends out to run with us in 2014.

Next race; year end Winter Solstice Saturday at 9am

 Hi All

Come on out to the Winter Solstice run next Saturday at 9am.   It is the last race of the year.   

If you have make it to all four races you are a Grand Slammer and receive a chocolate bar.  Looks like Steve Cackley, E David Granum, Bill McCracken, Bob Mow, Mike Oehl, Del Scharffenberg, Mack Stilson, Dennis Tong, and David Walters have made the first three races.  No Grand Slam for me though, fighting an injury and currently sidelined from running.  See summary of results below.
