What a night … first the rumbling of thunder, then the pounding rain and finally a new course record by Jon Schoenburg in a speedy time of 18:19 (5:55/mi). Good to see those regulars that returned and some new faces. We have decided to extend the 5k series into September so see everyone on 9/9/08!

What a race … the rain came down hard at the start of the race prompting the Race Director to get the show on the road. But, the rain quickly turned into a nice mist keeping the runners cool. We hope that you had a great race and hope to see you back next year. This year’s race was won by David Bedoya in a time of 26:33 (5:19/mile) and Caroline Bjune with a time 30:02 (6:01/mile). Check out the Results page for the complete results.
Thanks to all of those who ran, volunteered, sponsored, cheered and coordinated. We hope to see everyone back next year.
Oh … don’t forget that the next monthly 5k starts on the Harvard Common at 6:30pm on Tuesday, 7/8. We hope to see you out there.
