Third Annual Mutt Strutt


at Little River State Park, Waterbury, Vermont

April 25, 1999

Race Results


A Central Vermont Runners event at Little River State Park, Waterbury, Vermont to benefit the Central Vermont Humane Society

For the third year in a row, the weather was ideal for the Mutt Strutt. The women runners ruled the day. Caitlin Compton, fresh from a successful season of nordic ski racing at the national level, was in shape to win - the only question mark was her 10-year old dog Clover. Clover kept pace and the pair topped the entire field in 19:00, beating their own course record for women of 19:20 set in 1997. Dot Martin and Kona, who edged out Caitlin and Clover last year in the women's competition, were second overall in a fast 19:22. Former winners Tim Noonan and Gus were third overall and top men's team.

We appreciate the great support from our sponsors: Ide's Feed Store, Onion River Animal Hospital, Julio's Restaurant, House Mouse Designs, and KC's Bagel Cafe. The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation kindly waived the permit fee for use of the park, and The Hartigan Company gave us a reduced rate for the portable toilet service. Because of the generosity of these parties, most of the race entry fees went directly to support the Central Vermont Humane Society. Thanks also to Eric Ryea, Dave Kissner, Cristine Maloney, Richard Cleveland, Mack Gardner-Morse, John Martin, Bruce Westcott, Patty Welsh, and Michael Chernick for volunteer help on race day. See you again next year!
