Last year

We are not sure how old this race is (and maybe no one knows), but it has been run for at least 20 years. Each year the starting line for the 5K resembles the start of a high school cross-country race as local runners test their fitness before their season begins. Last year over 300 runners entered the event. Dave Max was the overall winner in 17:03. Savannah Fornshell won the female title in 20:35. The course records are held by Jeff Martin (15:24) and Jennifer Sallez (18:39).
