A huge day for milestones at event #340! Temperature at start time was 73°, with 100% humidity.
This week 84 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 5 were first timers and 8 recorded new Personal Bests. Congratulations on the PBs to Devon Myers, Carlos Gomez, Sophia Lee, Sherry Larkin, Tommy Powell, Lesmar Murray, Kate Magill, and Yara Elenany! Great job to First Five finishers Jon Babcock, Weston Schrock, Matthew Jordan, Tamas Kereszy, and Michael Rywant.
Now for the milestones…

He is a dedicated member of our pre-event setup crew each week and is on track to reach 250 volunteer credits this year too. Way to go, John!
