The course was an out and back and out and back. Just to clarify that,
the racers left the start/finish line, went south on River Road, made
a loop around the block, made their way back north over the
start/finish line and continued on to the Henderson House where they
turned and headed back to the finish.
At the start, several runners vied for the lead but it wasn't long
before Larry Taylor broke away with Randy Gibbs close
behind. Mike Massey and Aaron Kaylor were running third
and fourth. At the first mile, Larry Taylor was setting a quick pace
(5 minutes) that continued throughout the race. As the racers came to
the finish line, it was Larry Taylor (16:08) withh Randy Gibbs (16:27)
coming in second place. Rouding out the top three was Mike Massey with
a time of 17:40. Finishing first for the women was Jessica Taylor at
19:44 while second place went to Emily Butcher at 21:25 and right
on her heals in third, was Kim Huck at 21:26.
