Race Recap By Josh Keane:

The Scio Scramble was a fun 5k with a historic small town flare! This was the 40th year for this 5k and in all 40 years this 5k kicks off the Scio Fall Festival. Well organized and the local fire department supported the race with escort vehicles and directing traffic. Course was very flat, fast and paved. Volunteers were awesome. After the race there was an award ceremony in the fire station with beer and ice cream! Once that was over you could head outside and enjoy the fall festival before heading home. The weather was great and I actually felt really good on the course somehow pulling out a 3rd place finish in my age group. There was a bit of a drive in the country for about 45 minutes but well worth it and definitely a race we will consider in the future.

Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

Big turn out for this small town 5K!
I had a great time kicking off the Scio Summer Fest and participating in this 40 year anniversary race!
Easy directions, free parking close to the event, and organized packet pick up.
Gun start, chip finish for this flat and fast 5K out and back primarily on a running path.
Plenty of volunteers to keep you safe and a water station at approx miles 1 & 3.
$20 registration fee is a welcome surprise!
All runners get a SS cotton shirt, goody bag, ice cream, and beer!
Top 3 overall and age group winners earn a finishers medal! Pleased with my 8:46 pace and 1st place age group!
Fun festival after with live music, food trucks, vendors, and a beer garden!
I look forward to doing this one again!

I ran the Scio Scramble 5k in Scio last night with teammates Lisa Keane and Josh Keane. There were many friendly faces from my local racing community there and the Scio summer festival added to the atmosphere and fun too! I finished 4th in my age group with a total time of 30:05 and pace of 9:42.
