Race Recap By Steve Zenar:
I had a fun but wet run this morning at the Race for the Parks 10K in Hudson, OH. This race is one of my annual favorites as its close to home but typically I only do the 5K. This year I have been feeling good and went for the 10K version. As expected it was a nice challenge with just enough distance and some punchy hills to get a great longer run mid-month. The race was well organized and all went smoothly – Thank you to Brittany Kiehl for being one of the volunteers.
I ended with a time of 58:17 and placed 3rd in my age group.
Race Recap By Brittany Kiehl:
They had you park across the street in the high school baseball parking lot. It is about a 5 minute walk to the park. I volunteered first for packet pickup/ organized shirts. Then I ran the 5K. The course had a little bit of everything – gravel, trail, and pavement. It went through Hudson Springs Park and a nearby neighborhood. There were some steep hills but overall a fun course. The 10K was the 5K loop twice. You recieved a soft, charcoal colored shirt and a wooden medal. There was plenty of post race snacks and coffee. Since you parked across the street, you received your swag after the race. There was a huge line to pick up shirts.
