I ran the North Canton’s 5 mile race on the 4th.  I was 9th women overall and 1st in my age group with a time of 33:43.

The race had nearly 3000 participants- their best turnout ever.  The race course was nicely marked.  There were a good amount of people standing or sitting in front of their houses cheering the runners on.  There were plenty of water stations.  The course had a good amount of hills and turns.   Josh was able to see me at least 4 or 5 times (Of course he had to run to different spots so he got a good run in too!) They did change the course this year in which the last half mile was run on S. Main St..  It was a pretty decent size finish with arch and clock with the street lined with spectators!  Pretty cool!  It was a tough course but worth it!
