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.

Results Winter Solstice Run 12/21/13 #147

We had a good turnout today (22 runners) and great day for the race, no rain and even a little sun.  Trail was very slick.

It was the last race of the year and we had 7 people complete all four races.   Mack, David H, Del, Bob Mow, Dennis, Mr Bill, and E David.

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.

Results Autumnal Equinox Run 9/22/13

We had a small turnout tonight only 15 racers in the race but already had two times sent in.  We lucked out and had nice weather for the race, earlier in the afternoon there was heavy ran but the sun came out and we had a dry but somewhat muddy race.   Not many Swifts tonight though.  

Send in your times if you missed the race.   I still need to run the course and will post a time later.

 

Results Summer Solstice Race June 20th (Updated 6/26)

The course was pretty muddy for this time of year but it was a cool but dry race tonight. We had 18 racers tonight and one time from last week. Send in your time if you did not make it tonight. Rather sparse attendance tonight. There was a good front pack in the race and then almost a 10 minute gap.

Vernal Equinox Results 3/19/13 (Updated 3/24)

 We had a good turnout for a raining evening.   20 runners ran last night and I added 6 times that people have sent in.   The day started out nice but driving to the race the rain started to hit hard.   Everyone pretty much said they were fine running but it was very cold at the finish after the race and most everyone left pretty quickly after the race.   The rain never did let up.   Looking forward towards the Summer Solstice run.
