Results for Summer Solstice Run June 21, 6pm

We had a nice warm evening last night, 82, for the Summer Solstice run.  What a great way to start the summer off, we also had great attendance, 34 runners ran the race.  This is despite some bad traffic, we had two runners that were stuck in it and started a few minutes late. 

I have received many pre-race times so the total is 42 runners.  The great attendance was helped with 17 first time runners.  Another first for the MGP we had a few runners from the local barefoot running club join us.

The course was absolutely perfect, just a very few muddy spots but still wet enough there was no dust.   It was set up for fast times but the heat slowed us down a bit.   It was pretty hot on the last section once you hit Lief Erickson and Thurman.   A few runners even stopped to get a drink at the water fountain at the entrance of Lief.   However after the wet and cool spring it was soo nice to be running in the sun.

Many thanks to my timers, it allows me to run the race and socialize.   My son real enjoyed signing people in and collecting our times.

I quickly entered the results.  I hope I have spelled all of the new runner's correctly.   Please let me know if anything is incorrect.
