Race Recap By Nancy Wardell:

I ran the Run for Hope Castle 5k in Alliance this beautiful morning! Found teammate Cleopatra Sirnic along the way too! This is a nice easy course that is clearly marked at every turn and even goes through Mount Union college! Tons of nice snacks and quick award ceremony at the end. I didn’t place today, but finished at a total time of 29:28 and with a pace of 9:28 which I’m still pleased with. I was 7th in my age group. Loved the castle and very upbeat environment at the race site!

Race Recap By John Fabianich McClay:

I had a great time running the Leave No Trace Half Marathon on Saturday. The course was well-marked, the volunteers were fantastic, and the aid stations were well-organized. Parking was not a problem. Congratulations to all who finished. I finished first in my age group and 31st out of 149. This is an event I always enjoy.

Race Recap By Lynett McClay:

This race was held at Camp Manatoc in Peninsula. This course consist of single track, gravel road, grass, rolling hills and a couple of steep hills to climb with elevation of 1600′ ft and plenty of roots to trip on. Also this was a 2 loop course. Easy packet pick up the morning and plenty of parking and easy directions. The course was well marked. There were 2 aid stations with easy access and plenty of snacks for all of the runners needs. This course got me a little bit as I fell 2x hitting my head, bruised my left arm and pinky finger with also bruising to my right elbow and a few scrapes on my knees. Next I will come back and have revenge.

Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

Race 8/10 in the Dirty Trail Series meets the Endurance Series race 5/9! These two separate races are run an hour apart on the same course – sounds hectic but it works!
Great communication, organized packet pick up, easy directions, and ample free parking close to the start / finish.
Indoor restrooms / showers available for all runners
Chip timing on a well marked trail with plenty of rocks, roots, and elevation.
Mostly single track with some road and grassy fields mixed in. Stay alert for faster runners and announce yourself to pass when approaching slower runners.
Nicely spaced aid / water stations on course.
Choice of swag during sign up. I accidentally signed up for a duplicate item as a previous race and I schmoozed the race directors until they let me switch it out.
Fun finish line atmosphere with plenty of space for spectators to cheer you in, music, and food including hot dogs and snow cones.
Finisher medals for all runners and overall / age group awards in 5 year increments 3 deep.
Very happy with my 1st place age group win! Congratulations to all of the Team ER Minnehaha runners – everyone placed in their age groups and the race directors mentioned our team by name!

I ran the first time ever, RED S.H.O.E. 5K in Canton this morning! Such a beautiful morning and very well organized with clear signs at every turn. I really loved this race course, which goes up around the monument and has a nice run along the low elevation trails in the park. I was super excited to finish 3rd female overall!
