CVR Birthdays this week:
Happy Birthday to: David Erickson, Mark Evans, & Sarah Knutson!
Howdy from Adamant,
It’s fall, however it’s sunny and 80 degrees F (27 C). However, the days are now less than 12 hours in length and growing shorter by over 3 minutes every day. The race series is over, however there is still the Fallen Leave 5K series November 4, 11, & 18.
Leaf Peepers was this past weekend. I spoke briefly with Will after the race and he thought there were roughly 100 more runners this year! Great to see the race growing. There were great conditions and a great group of volunteers that helped make the race a success. The results are on the CVR website, however you can also find the results here: Leaf Peepers Half Marathon and 5K | Race results | Webscorer
The 5K, which had 143 runners, was won by Adron Pitmon in a time of 16:21.6. The first woman was Alison Migonis in a time of 20:12.5. Noah Witke Mele was the first non-binary in a time of 29:54.5. A quick look at the results showed Elizabeth McCarthy, Bob Murphy, & Gordon MacFarland won their age groups.
The half marathon was won by Logan Senrud in a time of 1:16:21.3. Laura Peterson was the first woman in a time of 1:35:04.7. There were 304 runners. Ann Treadwell, Donna Smyers, Jim Flint, & Tom Hogeboom all won their age groups. Megan Petrine was the first non-binary in a time of 1:49:04.7.Here are a few photos from the half-marathon race, however none from the 5K (sorry):
Fun Runs
Official run runs are over for the year, however I’m guessing people will continue to show up Tuesday evenings to get in a few miles. The days are getting shorter, however bright clothing and lights will make for a safer run.
Other runs
The Long Trail Running Club has Thursday evening runs in Chittenden County, starting and finishing at a brew pub. It’s a fun group, and they usually find good routes. Routes are 4-6 miles long; the group stops from time to time to wait for the caboose to catch up; there’s also often a group that walks. Check out the group at www.meetup.com/longtrailrunning
