Division Place:  1st Place

Race Recap By Gretchen Snyder:

For being the third annual race, having 228 participants is a good number, and it’s becoming more competitive. It’s a relatively flat course (102 feet elevation gain) which yields faster finish times. They had a water station half way, plus bananas and homemade cookies at the finish. Most of the proceeds go right back to Faithful Servants, a medical clinic in Tallmadge which provides free care for uninsured individuals.

I ran a 23:52; not my fastest, but with the rain and high humidity, I’m good with it. Overall, I placed 19 of 165 runners, fourth overall female and first in my age group.
