North Canton 5 miler

Zia Snyder – I ran North Canton’s 4th of July 5 mile race.  For the 6th anniversary of my Dad’s passing, my mom and I decided to run it together.  My mom is a breast cancer survivor and 5 miles is the most she has ran since all of the chemo and surgeries have ended.  The weather was unbearable and it took an hour for us to finish, but it was the most rewarding race to be able to finish with her.

I have been doing the 4th Bike race in Medina for years- this year decided to mix it up, and do the 5k & 10 K running races back to back.

The weather made it tough- 80 degrees at the start of 5k at 745am, by the time we started 10k (9am)- it was 90 and humid.

I did not get the warm up I wanted (big line to sign up)- so after a 10 minute warm up, got to the starting line only to sit for 10 minutes because people were still at sign up, and they delayed start. When we finally took off- it felt like a heart attack! Lots of high school runners make this a tough event. I got into a good rhythm at 1/2point, and was holding a 6:20 pace. As we headed back to square (uphill) – you could really feel the heat (out in sun the whole time) – but finished strong at 19:32 -2nd in my class (guy won with a 17:53 wow!), and 23rd overall out of 609.

The hardest part of doing the 10k is the 50 minute wait between races. Did a short warm up, and when the gun went off, could really feel the heat and humidity- so tried to keep a steady 7:15 pace. Felt surprising good for most of race, but last mile, the sun was really beating down, ended up slowing slightly, and finishing in 45.23 (7.19 pace)- 2nd in my class, and 19th overall, out of over 200- a solid result after the 5k, with the conditions!

Ray Fryan – Jackson Night Glow 5K   2nd in age group

Marathon Results

Paul Lenz
Like Ron Hudas, I had a blast running the Inaugural Canton Marathon along my group of running friends from the Jackson Y.  The course was definitely a challenging one with plenty of rolling hills.  The 6am start along with excellent community support and ample fluid/gatorade stops made a June Marathon in humid NE Ohio bearable and doable.  The plan was to run it for fun as a “Pack” and that is what we did as 8 of us crossed the line together in a time of 3:41.

Steve Bable
29th age group 234 overall time 3:57:07

Canton marathon success! 26 miles of rolling hills, but with only 2 months of training I finished 3:37. 2nd in my age group and 16th female overall.
