Race Recap By Kris Engstrom:

I ran the Medina Half Marathon on Saturday.  The third year in a row I have completed this race. I hurt my foot a week before the race and was thinking of doing the 5k instead. When I got there I decided to just see what would happen. I ended up running a 2:04 with wind and a lot of rain but it was still fun. I plan on running it again next year.

Race Recap By Brittany Kiehl:

The actual race was on Memorial Day weekend and we were out camping. So I sadly missed the race. I completed it today with a hike at the Nature Realm. I always love the Medina themed race medals. And I loved the design/ color green for this year’s soft, short-sleeve shirt.
The race director, Beth Anne, is also a teacher and does an amazing job with this race every year. I am not sure how she finishes up her school year and puts on this race.
