Race Recap By Josh Keene:
The Dover Knights of Columbus Ghost Chase 5K was a blast! Ran this one with two Team ER favorites Lisa Keane and Nancy Wardell and we had so much fun! The event was established to raise funding for the Dover Knights of Columbus and Tuscarawas Central Catholic Schools. Fast and fairly flat course mostly on paved roads and a little dirt track. The course did go through two local cemeteries in honor of Halloween. Volunteers were great, course was well marked and volunteers/police were all over the course giving direction and maintaining safety. The long sleeve shirt is really nice almond with really nice age group and overall awards. Packet pick up as well as awards ceremony were inside with restrooms. They provided subway sandwiches, fruit, granola bars, candy, water and coffee after the race as well. I was fortunate to finish second in my age group and ninth overall. This was a great little race that I would certainly recommend to everyone. Congratulations to both Lisa and Nancy for their awesome race as well! Thank you both for hanging out with me!
Race Recap By Lisa Keane:
It was my first time running this one and I had so much fun with fellow teammates Nancy Wardell and Josh Keane!
There was a free fun run for the kiddos with ribbons and candy for all participants!
5K proceeds support the Knights of Columbus, St. Joseph Church, and Tuscarawas Central Catholic Elementary School.
Indoor packet pick up, restrooms, and award ceremony to avoid that early morning fall freeze!
Mostly flat and fast pace on dirt roads and city streets as well as 2 cemeteries for some SPOOKY fun. Well marked course with plenty of police presence and volunteers.
Gun start and chip timing,
Awards for overall and age groups and a costume contest!
Nice long sleeve tech shirts and Subway sandwich lunch after.
I decided to dress up this year and had a ton of fun with my Forest Gump character but lost my wig TWICE during my run and had to stop and go back for it! Even with my wardrobe malfunction, I still placed 4th overall female and 1st in my age group.
Race Recap By Nancy Wardell:
I completed the 2024 Ghost Chase 5k in Dover this morning with teammates Lisa Keane and Josh Keane!! Always love seeing those friendly faces at races!! Thanks for the fun as usual! The course was throughout the neighborhood of Dover and through two cemeteries. Each turn was marked clearly and there were tons of volunteers to help guide the way! I definitely love this race each year and saw many familiar faces! I was feeling a little rough this morning, so my time was slower than I’d like. I finished at 31:15 with a pace of 10:04 and First in my age group. Great award ceremony inside with tons of fruit, candy, and yummy subway!!
