Race Recap By Christine Churpek:

We ran the New York City Marathon for Team Animal League! We love you!
Kristi and I ran the New York City Marathon as part of Team Animal League, raising money for North Shore Animal League, the world’s largest no-kill rescue and adoption organization.

We had so much fun out there and made memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who donated, cheered, and supported this incredible cause! I am forever grateful.

Division Place:  3rd Place / 6

Lisa Keane

Finish Time:  2:51:25

Overall Place:  42nd Place / 60

Division Place:  1st Place / 7

Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

A beautiful fall race thru Alum Creek State Park on ROCKS & ROOTS TRAIL. Perfect weather, beautiful fall foliage, lake views, & rolling hills. The trail is accurately named & extra tricky w/ new leaf coverage!
Great price for an Ultra! $45 for any distance with a unique option to change distances mid race
Good communication, easy directions, organized packet pick up.
Ample free parking a short walk to the start / finish.
All distances start together on the 10K loop. Choose 10K, 20K, or 50k distance. The course was (mostly) well marked and moderately traveled however the loops alternate which was a little confusing.
Chip timing.
One aid station on course and one at the start / finish.
Love my Sasquatch themed shirt and matching finishers medal.
Happy with my pace and 1st place age group finish however no overall or age group awards.
Cozy fire pit and music at finish line was nice while waiting for friends to come in.
I look forward to doing this one again!

Run Run Rudolph 5K

Cambridge, Ohio.

Nancy Wardell

Finish Time:  30:23

Overall Place:  37th Place / 118

Division Place 3rd Place / 17

Race Recap By Nancy Wardell:

Ran the Run, Run Rudolph 5k in Cambridge today and discovered all the hills they have in town! I actually really enjoyed this race and wish I registered earlier to get one of the nice long sleeve shirts, but I’ll definitely sign up earlier next year! This race was very well organized and tons of cookies, bananas, granola bars and more at the finish line! The finisher medal was really nice too and the age group awards were beautiful glass trees made by a local famous glass company called “Mosser Glass”! I finished at a total time of 30:23 with a pace of 9:48 and 3rd in my age group! I was awarded a small glass tree which I love! I’m very excited to have placed since there were a lot of ladies in the 40-49 age group and the hills were no joke!! Another fun race in the books!

Conquer The Castle 10 Miler

Mayfield, Ohio

Brittany Kiehl

Finish Time:  1:44:20

Overall Place:  39th Place / 167

Division Place 9th Place

Race Recap By Brittany Kiehl:

The race course was very scenic and mostly on the trails. I wish they would have utilized the indoor pavilion so people could stay warm. However, it was beautiful race weather today. I also think next year they should add a feature to be able to track runners, especially the ultra marathon folks. There were options for a 100K, 50K, 20 miler, 10 miler, or 5K.
