Race Recap By Kris Engstrom:
I ran the Shamrock 5K in Cuyahoga Falls today. Great seeing all the Team ER runners today. many teammates today!! Thanks to Josh Ritchie and Mickey Rzymek for putting on another great event. I finished 2nd in my age group at 25:09 with a pace of 8:05. The rain, wind and lightning made it entertaining. Great hoodie.
Race Recap By Steve Zenar:
I had fun running the Shamrock 5K / 10K. Albeit the weather didn’t cooperate, it was great to get out and run with so many Team-ER team members! Thanks to all for making the best of the situation and wish you all a safe, fun, and happy St Patty’s Day! We will have to go after that 10K next year
Race Recap By Lisa Keane:
Super fun and well attended St. Patty’s Day race! This is our 3rd consecutive year in attendance and Summit Athletic Running Club does not disappoint!
Easy directions with plenty of free parking close to the start / finish.
Super organized with Indoor packet pick up / staging / restrooms/ award area
Chip timing for a flat out and back, well marked road race with one water stop and plenty of volunteers / police presence for safety
Choose one loop or two for your 5K / 10K distance
Both distances start together
This year Mother Nature may have had one too many green beverages and she decided to throw in a Thunderstorm and Tornado Watch about 20 minutes in so the Race Director had to make a safety call and cancel the 10K mid race.
To make it up to all the 10K runners, they handed out the coveted bobble head awards for top 3 male / female and age group winners six deep!
All athletes receive a soft sweatshirt / hoodie and nice variety of fruit / sweet / salty snacks.
Race Recap By Josh Keane:
Bobble heads, hoodies and shamrocks! Another fun event with a strong Team ER showing. The entire team showed up in force, volunteering and running. The Shamrock 5k was well run as usual and the indoor facilities were much appreciated with the weather. Due to lightening the 10K was eliminated and everyone became 5K runners. I probably would have pushed a little harder with that but if information early on but still pulled out fourth place in my age group. Another fantastic day with Team ER and we will certainly do this one again.
Race Recap By Mike Williams:
Our 10K got cut short today due to weather and was changed into a 5K. Overall a great day to run with some good friends. I placed 5th in my division and took home a bobble head award as well as a raffle prize basket.
Race Recap By Terri Bednar:
I did the Shamrock (SARC) today. I had signed up for 10K but was changed to 5K due to weather. Race staff did a great job pivoting with the crazy weather! Fun flat and fast course. Age group winners got a cute bobble head awards. I finished 2nd in my division and Just took home my third one. I like this race. Well organized, easy parking, clean bathrooms and packet pickup is always a breeze. I will do this race again !
Race Recap By Nancy Wardell:
I completed the Shamrock 10K. It ended up being a 5k today in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. I loved seeing so many teammates today!! Thank you for taking the pictures and hanging out afterwards for a little bit! Great seeing Mickey Rzymek and Josh Ritchie organizing the event and making the magic happen and loved all the snacks and inside location for the awards afterwards too! I had fun volunteering to hand out the bobble heads afterwards! I finished 7th in my age group at 29:57 with a pace of 9:38.
