Year 14 has come and gone, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude after what was truly the best Salt Springs Trail Races yet! Picture perfect weather, nothing but smiles from start to finish, and a record number of participants on the trails - you all showed up in a BIG way this year!
And so did the giving - this year saw a record for donations to the Friends of Salt Springs Park, and that means everything to us. These trails exist because people care about them, and this community proves that every single year.
This year had a few extra special moments we have to shout out, as well!
🏆A historic first: Sarah Briggs of Tunkhannock, PA became the first ever female Overall Winner of the Salt Springs 50K and holds the new female 50K course record. She holds the second fastest 50K time, second only to Cole Crosby. She also now holds the Triple Crown - she holds the female 5K, 10K, and 50K course records, and is the only person in race history to win ALL THREE events.
🔥A new 10K course record: In his first time at the race, Brian Hill of Middletown, NJ absolutely flew through the course in 47:46.73, crushing the previous record of 53:11.34 by over 5 minutes!
NONE of this would be possible without people who help make it happen behind the scenes:
🍳Chaos Crewing Co.: for the most incredible aid station spread and post-race breakfast
⏱ Falcon Race Timing: for accurate, quick, and reliable results every single year
📸Goat Factory Media: for capturing the heart and soul of the race on these beautiful trails
🌲Friends of Salt Springs Park: for maintaining this beautiful park
🍎Russell Farms: for donating delicious apples post-race
👕Sign & Print Designs: for awesome race swag year after year
And most of all - THANK YOU! To every participant who came out this year...whether it was your first 5K or your 25th loop of the 50K, you are what makes this race what it is.
We cannot wait for Year 15! See you on August 28, 2027!
