Race Recap By Terri Bednar:
I am officially an ultramarathoner!! My First 50K is in the books! I ran Loop the Lake in Munroe Falls. they offer a 50K relay, a 25K, a 50K and a 6 hour option. Such a fun race with tents set up to look like Woodstock and all the snacks you would ever want! Thanks to Stephanie Orwick for crewing me and for my awesome coach Christine Churpek! There is a cheer section every 1.3 miles and I introduced myself to other cheer sections so I think I had like 4 along the loop . The race was very well organized, packet pickup was a cinch; bathrooms right by the start/finish and an easy timing mat with screen so you could see how many laps you completed. This was my third time doing this race but first time doing the 50k. I had a blast AND I took home the award for female Masters and won $50!!! My one and ONLY complaint about this race is that everyone gets the same medal/no differentiation between 25K, 50K, 6 hour or relay. I was sad to learn that this was the last year for this race. I sure hope they bring it back, it is a blast!
Race Recap By Veronica Neubert:
Yesterday, I completed my first 25K. Thanks to Terri Bednar’s encouragement and to my Team ER for race support!
The weather was perfect and I felt good for most of the laps. Finishing 25th overall and 9th female, I can only imagine what running on good knees could have felt like? Nevertheless, I am proud of myself.
Race Recap By Renee Buckus:
LOOP THE LAKE 25K! Perfect temps, high energy, speedy runners and strong support from friends and family! Nearly 16 miles of pure joy with a finish line that represented not only the end of this race but my 2025 races in total. What a season! A mega thank you to PLX Running Club and Nicole for putting on an incredible event. I’m so lucky to know y’all and thankful I got to be a part of this.
