Race Recap By George McFall:

What a great way to kick off America’s 250th and my 55th birthday celebration… a hot & humid 5K in Aurora, OH. I have done this race many times. The race starts at Bicentennial Park and winds through a neighborhood. A mostly flat course with a couple rollers at the beginning and in the last mile. Once you get up and over the last roller, it is a fast finish.
Packet pick up is offered the day before and day of the race. Water and bananas are available to all participants after the race. If you are an age group winner, they make it easy to get your medal by locating the table with your age group and giving the volunteer your bib number. Note: age groups are 10 years versus the traditional 5 years and there is a 1 mile option.
If you have never done this race, I highly recommend it.
I placed 2nd in my age group (50-59) with a time of 21:06. 6:49 overall pace. I was 34th out of over 400 5k participants.

Race Recap By Roy Miller:

I really enjoyed this race today. Was lucky to share George Mc Fly birthday morning with him at this race. Good rolling course through neighborhoods and a finish at the gazebo in downtown Aurora. Very happy with my pace of 8:08. Will return next year!
