Race Recap By John Fabianich McClay:

This year’s Mo Spring Marathon was a true test of endurance. The race began with a torrential downpour, rendering the course a muddy mess. I applaud all runners who persevered to the finish line. Personally, I secured 11th place overall and first place in my age group. My wife, Lynett McClay, also deserves recognition for her outstanding finish. Kudos to Western Reserve Racing for hosting a well-organized event.

Race Recap By Lynett McClay:

MO Spring 1/2 Marathon: Rising to the Challenge. A dramatic lightning show on our way to the starting line set the tone, accompanied by a picturesque sunrise with a red sky after the storm. The race began as scheduled. At approximately 1.5 miles, heavy rain started, persisting for much of the event. The course presented numerous obstacles, including mud and hills. In contrast, the aid stations showcased exemplary planning, offering a range of snacks and beverages to support participants. The uphill finish added an additional layer of difficulty. Although my performance was not outstanding, I achieved a third-place finish in my age group, as indicated by the official results. We look forward to participating in this race again.
