Capital City Stampede
Race directors Shannon Salembier and Colin Clifford and the volunteers put on a great 42nd Annual Capital City Stampede on Saturday. The weather was great, the traffic control was flawless and there were 87 finishers (13 more than last year). There was a big GMAA contingent since this race was in their series, but Alex Jinks held them off and won the Men’s Race in 34:17. Jess Marino of Burlington won the Women’s Race in 41:20.
This was the 6th race in the CVR/ORO Race Series and the race seriesstandings have been updated. Several perfect scores but no one has achieved six races yet.
